Have 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.
He made me feel so second-best
I never should have let him do it
But when he makes his pretty mess
Somehow you just fall into it
*** chorus:
Have mercy on him
The love that I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him
The love that I saved for him is gone
*** verse 2:
He wasnt just another touch
He was something I created
And though I loved him much too much
I never thought my love was wasted
*** chorus:
Have mercy on him
The love that I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him
The love that I saved for him is gone
*** verse 3:
How do you know who you should blame?
You spend your love, or you conserve it
Its hard to hear him curse my name
At least I know I dont deserve it
*** chorus:
Have mercy on him
The love that I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him
The love that I saved for him is gone
The love that I saved for him is gone
