[Verse 1]
Followed your name, into the wild, yeah, yeah
Showed you my shame, I ran a mile
I sing your lullaby, your melodies, like a symphony
We burn the same inside a fire
[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believes
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me
[Verse 2]
I played the game, I reconciled, well, well, well, well
I wear the blame like a suit and tie
I sing your lullaby, your melodies, like a symphony
We fall the same when we walk the wire
[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believes
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me
[Bridge]
I keep growing and
You keep tearing me down
I keep growing and
You keep tearing me down
[Chorus]
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believes
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me

They only say: ‘I want to have the same thing...
