Mercy

Time stands too still
Left you there for the kill
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
Leaves a man with nothing

There’s just no mercy in your eyes
There ain’t no time to set things right
And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight
I’m just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Love grows so thin
Suits your taste for bitter ends
But this ache that holds you in
Leaves no place to begin

There’s just no mercy in your eyes
There ain’t no time for selling lies
And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight
I’m just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Words seem so blind
I’ve been pushed far aside
Soon my choice seems too small
Any move and I could fall

There’s just no mercy in your eyes child
There ain’t no time to set things right
And I’m not preaching to the choir
I’m just a painful reminder
And you’re a fool satisfied
