Mockingbirds

They say that if you love it, let it go
And if it comes back, you know
You know, it's yours
But they don't live life in this goldfish bowl
They just assume that they know
They know it all
So tell me, is this how it ends
Trial by fair weathered friends

So if this is over
Before we begun to
Show each other loving
How could we know
When the mockingbirds, they cover the sun
Its over before it's begun

Those sticks and stones they throw my break-a-bones
They say shit that they want us to believe
Unless those words come straight from your soul
Then they will never hurt me

Never thought they'd taken you in
Can't believe it's happened again

So if this is over
Before we begun to
Show each other loving
How could we know
When the mockingbirds, they cover the sun
Its over before it's begun

There are so many hearts
That have been torn apart
And the question that you need to ask
We let the mockingbirds have the last laugh

Cause if this is over
Before we begun to
Show each other loving
How could we know
When the mockingbirds, they cover the sun
Its over before it's begun
Its over before it's begun
