Mockingbird

You walked up to me
At the bar with a smile
And we talked for hours
Just how it used to be

And I brought you home
'Cause I always keep you safe
And you go and remind me
That you moved on

I needed your help
The other night
Stood like a statue
Beneath your front light

And I took all my power
Just to knock on your door
I just needed a friend
Of the girl I once loved

And you're my mockingbird
And you're my dying curse
Where lovers used to burn
I only find the ashes
Ain't no phoenix here
No Jesus near
When will I ever learn
To let love go?

Found you the other day
Hey, I was drunk, okay?
I walked up to you
And called out your name

I wasn't trying
To cause you any pain
I just needed to see you
Are you doing okay

But you looked right through me
Like I wasn't there
Yeah, you cut right through me
I never felt so much pain

I'm never going back
To you
I don't wanna feel
Hurt

You're my mockingbird
And you're my dying curse
Where lovers used to burn
I only find the ashes
Ain't no phoenix here
No Jesus near
When will I ever learn
To let love go?

To let you go
