Mercy - Shawn Mendez

Anxiety has become more than an acquaintance.

It used to be a familiar stranger that came and went, but now it seemed to have taken up permanent residence in my every day life.

It's uninvited flatmates include insecurity, abandonment issues and depression.

Together these new residents have expended the communal resources of energy, time, emotional and mental capacity, the building has started to show cracks in its foundation and walls. 

Logic has tried to initiate some remedial work to try plaster over the cracks with distractions and medication, however this only serves as a temporary bandage as the cracks underneath continues to increase and widen. 

Wishful thinking and Hope have been trying to shine some positivity into the building.
However pessimism has put up black out blinds throughout the whole building to prevent the rays of positivity from coming in.

Love the repair man has gone on leave, it is unclear if he has handed in his resignation or required extended sick leave workout a confirmed return date.



You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around ya

Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying, baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy

I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying, baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Oh, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
I'm begging you, begging you, please, baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, yeah
