If you could look inside my life
And use my eyes, would you pity me?
♪
Would you see the desperate nights
And all the lies that brought me to my knees?

I keep thinking that I have to make you fall
The way I fell from your betrayal
To bring me peace of mind
I will let you move along, just walk away
And wear a cape like you're some hero
I can't hear love 'cause we're at war
And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud

But, oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say, "l'm here now"
And it's the only way out
I can't hear love 'cause we're at war
But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud

But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage)
And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now
♪
It's the only way out

I used to hear my father say, "Counterplay ends in defeat"
♪
And I said I'd never be that way
Tried to make you pay 'cause it would cost me
But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this

I guess every story twists
People tell me let it go, oh, and forget

Mercy's the only way out
Mercy gave me my way out
