Mockingbird
Ruston Kelly Lyrics

Pretty wings
You are beautiful and angelic, like a bird with pretty wings.

Your the prettiest thing
You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Your like Parker Posey in a magazine
You are stunning, like the famous model Parker Posey in a magazine.

with faded jeans and a crop top back in ‘93
You are effortlessly stylish and trendy, like someone wearing faded jeans and a crop top in 1993.

I wanna be your dressed in black
I want to be your dark, mysterious figure wearing all black.

Your dark star with a backwards hat
You are a shining star, but with a rebellious and unconventional style, like wearing a backwards hat.

Im gonna write you a book and put your name on every page
I am going to devote myself to you completely and write a book filled with thoughts of you on every page.

Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
Mockingbird, please continue to sing your melancholy songs, as they reflect the sadness I feel inside.

Theres already rain on my window
It is raining outside and my window is covered in droplets of water.

Im dying when the morning comes
I feel like I am slowly dying every time the morning comes and I am forced to face reality without you.

Flew away in the night with a raven
You left me alone in the darkness of the night, like a bird flying with a raven.

And now im underneath the willows hanging
Now I am alone and sad, like a tree hanging under the branches of a willow.

Im to strung out to be upside down
I am too exhausted and overwhelmed to feel anything other than sadness and despair.

Pretty little mockingbird sing your song
Please continue to sing your song, mockingbird, as it is the only thing bringing me peace and comfort.

I was the desert honey you were the sand
I was once as sweet as honey, but now I am dry and empty, like a desert, while you were always there, like the sand.

I was a bird baby you were the branch
I was once a free spirit, flying wherever I wanted, while you were always there, stable and supportive, like a branch for a bird to rest upon.

I flew into the blue and watched those flowers dying
I once felt free and alive, flying into the blue sky, but now all I see are dying flowers, reflecting my own sadness and despair.

It wasn't much just everything
Our time together wasn't much in terms of quantity, but it was everything to me in terms of quality.

You could have sat right there and got high with me
You had the opportunity to share in my indulgent habits and spend time with me, but you didn't take it.

But you fell asleep and your dreaming brought the nightmares
Instead of spending time with me, you fell asleep and your dreams gave you nightmares, leaving me alone and sad.

Yeah pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
Please continue to sing your sad songs, mockingbird, as they help me to feel less alone in my own sadness and pain.

Pretty little mockingbird
You are a small and delicate bird, but your voice carries a lot of power and meaning in my life.

sing me a song
Please sing a song for me, mockingbird, as I am in need of some comfort and solace.
