Mercenary (Acoustic) - Live

[Verse 1]
She's crying inside
Can't tear the hurt out
Life's rushing by
Like and old movie backdrop
The radio's blasting
Song after song
About the big romance
That went all wrong

[Chorus]
She says
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary

[Verse 2]
She's scheming inside
Can't stop the wheels turning
Been through it before
There's no profit or learning
She's not really bad
Just a gold-plated heart
So scared to be alone
It rips her apart

[Chorus]
She says
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus x3]
She says
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be

That's why
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be

That's why
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary
