Jewel - Mercy Lyrics

Simplicity, does not come easy
When you're dreaming of being someone else
And grace you see is fleeting
When you're bleeding your innerself

Have Mercy on me please
Have Mercy, I'm on my knees
I'm being broken again and again
I'll keep being broken until I remain
Open

When you're locked away,
Fighting shadows, constant battles
Trying to feel safe
When your own armor starts killing you,
Cause it's causing you to sink beneath its weight

Call for mercy, won't you please
Call for mercy, get on your knees
You're being broken, again and again
You'll keep being broken, until you remain
Open

So feel the pain, give into it
Cry till you crack, that's how the light gets in
Set your weapons on the ground
Until you're naked and trembling now
And when you think you can't stand any more

Give mercy to someone in need
Give mercy, don't you see
Life will break our hearts, again and again
We'll keep being broken until we remain
Open

Can't you see
I have broken wide open
Let yourself be broken wide open
I have broken open
