Have Mercy

Have mercy on my soul
I won't need it anymore
At least not
Where I'm headed

Have mercy for me please
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging for forgiveness
That I surely don't deserve

It's inexplicable
And unbelievable
Where some nights I'd
Even even frighten myself

Hanging on by a thread
As I'm lost inside this bed
This web in my head
With my tell-tale heart

Bend it until it breaks
But don't label my love as "fake"
When you wish that
You only knew more

Pleasure until we shake
But don't label me a "mistake"
When you wish that
You only tried more

There's no getting over you
And I don't think anything would do
And I can't carry on
Or I haven't made up my mind

Because I'm running out of time
And there's not a thing that's fine
I'm just lost inside these dreams
I'm haunted during the day

And I heard what you said
That day under your breath
But I acted like I didn't
I guess that I'm still a coward

Too scared to repeat it
But how could I blame you?
Just look around now
At the mess I've created

As it all came crumbling down
I barely made a sound
Just gasping for some air
And Lord knows that I'm screaming now

I'm letting the light go
Maybe it was always dark here?
Or maybe I'm just "broken?"
Well, only time will tell
