Mockingbird
Lyrics
Rob Thomas
Somewhere in between this
Moment and the end
Will we bend
Or will we open up and take this
Whole thing in
Everybody else is smiling
Man, their smiles don't fade
You don't even wonder why
You just don't think that way
Maybe you and me
Got lost somewhere
We can't move on we can't stay here
Maybe we've just had enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird
Won't sing
Man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
Take my hand
I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can oh yes I can
I can be there when you need it
I'll give it all 'til you can't feel it anymore
I don't wanna love you now
If you'll just leave some day
I don't wanna turn around
If you'll just walk away
Maybe you and me
Got lost somewhere
We can't move on we can't stay here
Maybe we've just had enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird
Won't sing
Man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe you and me
Got lost somewhere
We can't move on we can't stay here
Maybe we've just had enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird
Won't sing
Man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love
