I'm biting at my nails
As your chewing at my heart
Each reply you send me
Makes it stop and then restart

What's that song you're singing?
Is it only for my ear?
Stop that faking mocking bird
And give this tune a hear

Secrets for your sorrows
A key against your chest
Holding onto my tomorrow
Am I inside your head?

Why don't you tell me?
And why won't you share?
I'm trying to read you
But I only find your stare

What's that song you're singing?
Is it only for my ear?
Stop that faking mocking bird
And give this tune a hear

I can't give you the answer
I'm sorry just to find
My minds all in my hands sir
And you're just not my kind

I'm not seeing your change
I can't find sweet indifference
It's pounding at my doors
I think I'll have to lose this

Secrets for your sorrows
A key against your chest
Holding onto my tomorrow
Am I inside your head?

What's that song you're singing?
Is it only for my ear?
Stop that faking mocking bird
And give this tune a hear

A hand holds onto mine soon
I'm hoping it's not yours
Your future's combing mine through
So I'm evening the scores

Goodbye and hello
Perhaps we can't decide?
Parting's such sweet sorrow
For farewell again tonight
