Mercy

(album: Flesh & Blood, Part 2 - 2020)

On a cold winter's night
You lay here by my side
But by the morning you were gone
So I trace my steps back to the fire
Where you sat looking in my eyes
Oh, I don't know where I went wrong

Maybe it was something that I never meant to say
Some old truth I'd guarded but I gave it all away
I have a funny habit of always making these mistakes
Can you forgive me darling?

I guess I just got all fucked up
You know I worry way too much
But when you're gone I feel so rough
I'm just begging for your mercy
Darling, put your arms around me

Maybe I'm too hard on myself
Sometimes I wish I was somebody else
I'm just hoping you ain't wishing for that too
So I go tracing through the dawn
For answers I don't know the questions to
Just something to bring me back to you

Maybe it was something that I never meant to say
Some old truth I'd guarded but I gave it all away
I have a funny habit of always making these mistakes
Can you forgive me darling?

I guess I just got all fucked up
You know I worry way too much
But when you're gone I feel so rough
I'm just begging for your mercy
Darling, put your arms around me

I guess I just got all fucked up
You know I worry way too much
But when you're gone I feel so rough
I'm just begging for your mercy
Darling, put your arms around me
