Mercy - Suzanne Santo
Composed by：Suzanne Santo
Your mama came runnin' outta
The house wild look in her eyes
You trailed her all the way down the block
'Til she sat right down and cried
Curtains swayin' in every window cracked venetian blinds
Yeah it could be any one of us with a broken mind
Yeah it could be any one of us with a broken mind
And I learned about mercy
I learned about mercy
For everyone else and for myself
I learned about mercy
Yeah I was just a kid then
Skinnin' my knees in woodbury hills
Tryin' to make a little sense
When my heart got crushed when the cat got killed
Was a mean man down the block
With his keep out sign and his poisoned milk
How I learned to keep the door locked
The thought of it still gives me chills
And I learned about darkness
I learned about darkness
Heavy like sick or hidden in a kiss
I learned about darkness
Sometimes I don't know how to be
How to shut my mouth how to let things breathe
And it gets so hard to see
With my history standing in front of me
Always fought with my sisters
White knuckle'n nonsense hands full of blisters
They felt like strangers
And they still do now but sometimes they're saviors
Sometimes they're saviors
And I learned about change'n
I learned about change'n
You win some you lose some
Cry about things that used to be fun
But you're change'n
Yeah we're change'n
Yeah we're change'n
