I can't believe I let you slip away
My arms today
Now there's darkness everywhere
I was wrong to say the things I did
But I know I did
I kept it hiding in me
Way, way down

And, have a little mercy
Have some mercy on me, baby

Though, my eyes are closed
The wind will blow warmth from the rage
And threaten my will away
And when the wind is calm
The leaves will fall upon my face
If you let me feel your love again
You know I'll try, and try, and try
I'll try

All I need from you is to have
And, have a little mercy
Have a little bit of mercy on me, yeah
Have a little mercy
Have some mercy on me, yeah
Have some mercy on me

I hit it on the first try
I hate that we've crossed the line
Living on the wrong side this time, yeah

Have a little mercy
Have some mercy, some mercy, some mercy on me, babe
