Lyrics
Mercy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well it takes some time
To see the world with different eyes
And it takes some blood and sweat and tears to find out love
Is not the same as it's made to be on the tv screen
In your hotel room, there's a dizzy spin that catches you
Oh what a choice you made
What a chance you took
Such a great escape
I could sit and curse your name
For all the things you've done to me
And put you in your place
But I am not free of mistake
We're not so different you and me
When mercy finds its way, forgiveness comes so easily
Now I spend my days
Trying to make some sense of the guilt and the shame
That has swallowed me whole
But its belly is dark and I lose control of the simplest things
So I sink and swim then sink again
It's a game I play, but have never won and never will
Oh it's a funny thing
How it all turned out
No apology could save me now
Tonight ill find a way cuz you found a way for me
So put in my place. Please
And I am not free of mistake
What a life, what a chance you've given me
When mercy finds its way
