Mercy

[Verse 1]

You've got a hold on me

Don't even know your power

I stand a hundred feet

But I fall when I'm around you

Show me an open door

And you go and slam it on me

I can't take anymore

[Chorus]

I'm saying

Baby, please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

You keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

[Verse 2]

I'd walk through the day

Just to be near you, baby

Heart open, testify

Tell me that I'm not crazy

I'm not asking for a lot

Just that you're honest with me

And my pride is all I got

I'm saying

[Chorus]

Baby, please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

You keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have mercy on me?

I'm a puppet on your string

And even though you got good intentions

I need you to set me free

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

[Bridge]

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Feeling all the hurt inside my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

[Chorus]

Oh, please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

You keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have mercy on me?

I'm a puppet on your strings

And even though you got good intentions

I need you to set me free

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart
