Mercy

There's dirt in my nails

From scraping the walls

And I thought I hit bottom

So why am I still falling?

I know who I am

I didn't forget

But I just need belief

That I won't give up yet

But God, this is all feeling so hard

Why am I lost out in the dark?

And why am I struggling just to keep standing?

Tears won't stop coming and I don't understand it

Maybe it's true that I'm getting stronger

But this really hurts me, crying, "Oh, mercy"

I'm crying, "Oh, oh, mercy"

I'm too hard on myself

I never let myself fail

But then my body screams, "Help"

And my mind wants to bail

I just want to be real

Stop pretending I'm good

And feel what I feel

Not what I think I should

But oh, God, this is all feeling so hard

Why am I lost out in the dark?

And why did you leave me alone

Facing the worst pain that I've known?

Maybe it's true that I'm getting stronger

But this really hurts me, crying, "Oh, mercy"

Mercy

I'm crying, "Oh, oh, mercy"

Mercy

Oh, oh, yeah

Come on, love me now

Come on, love me now

Come on, love me now, love me now, love me now

Come on and help me out

Come on and help me out

Come on and help me out, help me out

Oh, oh, oh-ooh

I'm crying, "Mercy"

Ooh, ooh

On my knees, mercy

Oh, mercy

Mercy

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Mercy

Mercy

Yeah, come on, mercy, yeah

Come on, love me now

Come on, love me now

Come on, love me now, love me now

Crying, "Mercy"

Come on and help me out

Help me, mercy

Come on and help me out

Come on and help me out

Oh, oh-ooh

Mercy
