Mercy

.

I met a man responsible

For an unforgivable crime

We were at a bar and he said to me

I'm out, I've done my time

.

But you know I will always be begging for mercy

.

A few seats down at the corner of the bar

Sat a mother of two

She said she'd given up her babies for

To start her life anew

All that we've done we hang on to

All that we've done we belong to

All that we've done carries on

.

Now I feel like the lucky one

Unlike how I felt before

Cause thankfully what I've done wrong,

The guilt I can ignore

.

You know I won't be beggin' for

I won't be asking for

I won't be desperate for mercy

.

All that we've done carries on
