MERCY Lyrics

I found a strand of your hair right in my pillowcase

I can't describe the feeling how my heart aches

There's so many things that I wish I could say

I guess I only wonder if you're playing it safe

Everything was meant only to be just not as long as it seemed

But I could never cheat on you, or even anyone

Unless they did it to me first because I might be that petty

My insecurities, there might be too many

I wanted nothing more than us going steady

It's such a shame how the times have changed

I renounce it all and let the feeling remain

Another day, dead and gone to waste

I tried to go back and find it, that's when I knew I was wrong

Ran out of words to describe it, that's when I ruined the song

All the water in the ocean couldn't wash that stain

Wish I was feeling something other than pain

And I've been going through the motions with no chance to complain

Worried I'm working without something to gain

Aching from the weight of my grief, show me mercy

Show me mercy

But I could never cheat on you, or even anyone

Unless they did it to me first because I might be that petty

My insecurities, there might be too many

I wanted nothing more than

I spent my days trying to be multifaceted

In some years I'd try to tally up the damages

I can't hope you'd take me back, I guess I'm past it

And like the other song goes, "I like to do magic"

Fear is only a feeling that only feelings can change

I still try to maintain, but despite everything strange

Our different phases of life, I'll never blame

I light the ****** and hope the emotions fade

I tried to go back and find it, that's when I knew I was wrong

Ran out of words to describe it, that's when I ruined the song

All the water in the ocean couldn't wash that stain

Wish I was feeling something other than pain

I've been going through the motions with no chance to complain

Worried I'm working without something to gain

How can ever keep myself from harm

Running away to scream inside my car
