Mockingbird

Hush, baby, don't say a word
I'ma go find you a mockingbird
And when that mockingbird drops dead
I'll find a way to make you happy again

This week I've been in a daze
Like I'm stuck in my old ways
(And your anxiety has checked in
And it's looking like it's here to stay)
Can barely get me out of bed
There's a war inside my head
(Been through hell and back to fix you
We'll try every fuckin' thing we can)

Yeah, I'ma hold your hand on the worst days
Pour another glass when you're thirsty
Remind you all the ways that you're worthy
(But what if it still just ain't enough?)
Then we'll play a little jazz on the drive home
Run a warm bath when you're icе cold
I won't let you fall from this tightrope
Ninety-ninе ways, but you still can't cheer me up

Hush, baby, don't say a word
I'ma go find you a mockingbird
And when that mockingbird drops dead
I'll find a way to make you happy again
Hush, baby, just stay with me
I'ma buy you a fuckin' diamond ring
Oh, I've tried almost everything
Ninety-nine ways, and I still can't cheer you up

My therapist told me today
I should probably meditate
('Cause your heads been like circus
And I've had tickets to your show all week)
Watch me as I break down while you take your seat
Standing ovation, I fall to my knees
You know I'm dying on the inside
Oh, am I ever gonna be happy?

Yeah, I'ma hold your hand on the worst days
Pour another glass when you're thirsty
Remind you all the ways that you're worthy
(But what if it still just ain't enough?)
Then we'll play a little jazz on the drive home
Run a warm bath when you're ice cold
I won't let you fall from this tightrope
Ninety-nine ways, but you still can't cheer me up

Hush, baby, don't say a word
I'ma go find you a mockingbird
And when that mockingbird drops dead
I'll find a way to make you happy again
Hush, baby, just stay with me
I'ma buy you a fuckin' diamond ring
Oh, I've tried almost everything
Ninety-nine ways, and you still can't cheer me up

Cheer you, cheer you, cheer you up
I ain't ever giving up
Ninety-nine ways, and I still can't, still can't
Cheer you, cheer you, cheer you up
Say you're never giving up
Ninety-nine ways, and you still can't cheer me up
