Jill Barber - Mercy Lyrics

Jill Barber Lyrics

"Mercy"

You're like a night in armor
Fightin' a battle of one
And every night it gets harder
To lift for the sun
I know you feel alone
Against a current that's strong
Between a rock and a stone
I want to pull you along

I wanna feel alright (I wanna feel alright)
Wanna see that light shinin' again
I wanna feel alright (I wanna feel alright)

Show mercy, show mercy
Show mercy to yourself
Show mercy, show mercy
Show mercy to yourself
All I ever wanted to say to someone else
Show mercy to yourself

Pray to the stars from a bar stool
Fillin' your tank from a glass
You bottle it up, that's what you do
So nobody can ask

You wanna feel alright (You wanna feel alright)
Wanna see that light shinin' again
You wanna feel alright (You wanna feel alright)

Show mercy, show mercy
Show mercy to yourself
Show mercy, show mercy
Show mercy to yourself

You don't have to go and break your back
I got you, I got you
Even if you fall right off the track
I got you

Show mercy, show mercy
Show mercy to yourself
All I ever wanted to say to someone else
Show mercy to yourself
