Mercy

I met a man responsible

For an unforgivable crime

We were at a bar and he said to me

I'm out, I've done my time

But you know I will always be begging for mercy

A few seats down at the corner of the bar

Sat a mother of two

She said she'd given up her babies for

To start her life anew

All that we've done we hang on to

All that we've done we belong to

All that we've done carries on

Now I feel like the lucky one

Unlike how I felt before

Cause thankfully what I've done wrong,

The guilt I can ignore

You know I won't be beggin for

I won't be asking for

I won't be desperate for mercy

All that we've done carries on
