Mercy

[Verse 1]
Been praying for you in the dead of the night
When my lungs cry for breathing and I'm all out of fight
Well have mercy on you, you know not what you did
It's not helping and, Jesus, it's hard to pretend

[Chorus]
The ripples are real and you messed with my head
Tried to push you aside, tried to go on instead
But time can't erase all the things left unsaid
Oh, I try to have mercy
Father, forgive me for what I can't forgive
Have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy, have mercy

[Verse 2]
Been reading the Bible tryna manage your sins
Was it seventy-seven or seventy-six?
But I still get so angry when I talk to my friends
'Cause they say "for the light that you've stolen, there's darkness instead"

[Chorus]
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Well, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm crying, ooh
Have mercy, have mercy
Well, I've tried and I've tried, but I'm dying, ooh
Have mercy, have mercy
Well, I've tried and I've tried, and I'm crying, ooh
Have mercy, have mercy
Well, I'm trying, swear I'm trying

[Outro]
The ripples are real and you messed with my head
Tried to push you aside, tried to go on instead
But time can't erase all the things left unsaid
Oh, I try to have mercy
Father, forgive me for what I can't forgive
