Lyrics
Why did you lead me astray
With shiny new gifts that you bring
Why did you take them away
And why does a mockingbird sing?
Was it something I said?
Or something I didn't do?
Did I break promises
That I'd made to you?
Why did you lead me astray
With shiny new gifts that you bring
Why did you take them away
And why does a mockingbird sing?
I was looking for answers
I was searching for clues
Trying to find someone to blame
And I thought of you
Why did you lead me astray
With shiny new gifts that you bring
Why did you take them away
And why does a mockingbird sing?
In that motel in Memphis
I called out to you
But there was just emptiness
And a cold de ja vu
Why did you lead me astray
With shiny new gifts that you bring
Why did you take them away
And why does a mockingbird sing?
