The Only Way Out

If you could look inside my life

And use my eyes, would you pity me?

Would you see the desperate nights

And all the lies that brought me to my knees?

I keep thinkin' that I have to make you fall

The way I fell from your betrayal

To bring me peace of mind

I will let you move along, just walk away

And wear a cape like you're some hero

I can't hear love, 'cause we're at war

And revenge is so loud

And the drums are so proud

But oh, I'm in a cage

And I hear mercy say, "I'm here now"

And it's the only way out

I can't hear love, 'cause we're at war

But revenge is so loud

And the drums are so proud

But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage)

And I hear mercy say now (I hear mercy say)

It's the only way out

I used to hear my father say

"Counter play ends in defeat"

And I said I'd never be that way

Tried to make you pay

'Cause it would cost me

But you owe me so much more

Than what you gave to this

I guess every story twists

People tell me, "Let it go"

Oh, and forget

I can't hear love, 'cause we're at war

And revenge is so loud

And the drums are so proud

But oh, I'm in a cage

And I hear mercy say, "I'm here now"

And it's the only way out

I can't hear love, 'cause we're at war

But revenge is so loud

And the drums are so proud

But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage)

And I hear mercy say now (I hear mercy say)

"It's the only way"

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Mercy is the only way out

Mercy gave me my way out

(Ooh, ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
