lyrics

Hey there, beautiful

I know you’ve come to put me in my place

Congratulations

You hate me

So break me down

I am well aware

Of all the reasons you are mad at me

I lost your graces

And I’m grateful you came to let it out

If you have come to fight with me

Then I have come to fight for you

Mockingbird, let it hurt

Break me down with your words

If it stings, if it burns

We still haven’t hit the ground

Mockingbird

I hear something you can’t hear

Beneath the fit you’re putting on

The words “I love you”

And maybe I’m crazy

Cuz I’ll take every little bit of hurt

That I just know that you can give

Cuz babe I had it coming

If you can promise

When we're done

That we’re not done

If you have come to fight with me

Then I have come to fight for you

Cuz I am not quite ready to let you go

Mockingbird, let it hurt

Break me down with your words

If it stings, if it burns

That means we’re not over

Mockingbird, let it hurt

Say I never put you first

If it stings, if it burns

We still haven’t hit the ground

Cuz it’s all my fault

Keep pouring it on

Cuz there’s no me if youre gone

And if this pain means you and me alice and well

Then hail to the

Mockingbird, let it hurt

Break me down with your words

If it stings, if it burns

That means we’re not over

Mockingbird, let it hurt

Say I never put you first

If it stings, if it burns

We still haven’t hit the ground

Mockingbird, mockingbird
