[Verse 1]
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 relief
And I won't give up yet
[Chorus]
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 them
Maybe it's true that I'm getting stronger
But this really hurts me, I'm crying, ooh, mercy
I'm crying, ooh, oh, mercy
[Verse 2]
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 wanna be real
Stop pretending I'm good
And feel what I feel
Not what I think should
[Chorus]
But, oh, God, this is all feeling so hard
Why am I lost out in the dark?
And why did you leave me all alone
Facing the worst pain that I've known?
And maybe it's true that I'm getting strongеr
But this really hurts me, crying, ooh, mercy (Mеrcy)
I'm crying, ooh, oh, mercy (Mercy)
Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
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
Ooh
[Chorus]
I'm crying mercy, oh
On my knees, mercy
Oh, mercy
Ooh, oh, mercy (Mercy)
Yeah, come on, mercy, love
[Outro]
Come on, love me now
Come on, love me now
Come on, love me now
Love me now, crying mercy
Help me, mercy (Come on and help me out)
(Come on and help me out)
(Come on and help me out)
Ooh, mercy
