All I am asking for is some mercy.

If you are done

Then just say so.

Don�t keep yanking at me.

Reel me in some.

Or cut me loose.

I have lived to many years.

To pretend that you still want this.

I have survived all the lies.

I have survived all the walls.

So cut me some mercy.

Take down the walls

Or let me go

All I need is my mercy.

It hurts to walk.

It hurts to have you withdrawing.

But I can live without.

I want you to hold tight.

But if you can�t,

Let me go.

Let it all go away.

I surrendered all of me to you.

Now I can�t be sure if I am secure in you.

I have put you on a pedestal.

I am leaning at the alter.

Of the temple of you eyes

You have told me to climb up.

Open up again.

Just tell me it is going to be alright.

Can I hold on tight enough?

What do you want from me?

I just want some mercy my angel.

I just want it to all go away.

Or tell me it will all be ok.

I love you but I can�t

Keep doing this to myself.

So love me or

Set me free.

But please show me some mercy.
