Have Mercy on Me

I'm tired of being afraid

I'm wondering how

I got this way

I'm trying to remember what life was like before

Panic moved in without even knocking on the door

Have mercy on me

I'm not who

I used to be

Have mercy on me

Jesus, please

I've been praying and asking you to take it all away

You never do exactly what

I say You see me from the outside, a lover looking in

But all I see is danger moving underneath my skin [CHORUS]

I know it's not because

I don't love you enough

It's not because

I'm weak, it's how you choose to speak to me
