Time For Mercy

I died
When i heard your voice
After all this time
I poured over ancient letters
Poured over faded pictures
Poured over the last forgiveness
I thought i was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Fly by
Like a colored dream
That leaves your mind
My tears running like molasses
Heart finally collapses
Inside the beautiful
The ugliness will hide
I though i was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Words hardly heal rejection, you
Can't expect me just to lay down
And let you kiss it all away
It's too late

I died
When i heard your voice
After all this time
I thought i was
Over you
Over you
Over you

Why does everybody hurt
Every bitter sickening word breaks my heart
Why can't anybody hear
When the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me

Every color every shade
Everyone an angel made from the breath of god
I'm your mother i

I'm not your lover
And i am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'cause i already know
You already broke me down

I'm not your perfect angel
I am not your one and only
I'm not your sweet magnolia
It's not like you never told me
Love was just a fast car
And i was just a cross on the road

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
And i don't think you ever loved me
I'm not your partner
And i don't think i ever could be
Love is like lightning
Thunder's what you've got when it's gone

I'm not your lover
And i am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'cause i already know
You already broke my heart

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Tell me is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
I'm not your baby no more

I just don't love you
Like i used to, like before
I just don't love you
The way you want me to
No, i don't love you anymore

And i've been crying

I just don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you
Don't love you anymore

You lie to me
Cry to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that i have
I just don't love you, anymore
No, i don't love you

You pull me down
Push me around
I've had about all i can take
You fooled around
Busy doing the town
Constantly leaving your bait
Yes, i've been crying, over you
No, i don't love you

You lied to me
Cried to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that i have
I just don't love you, anymore
No, i don't love you

And i've been crying

Busted down, outside of town
Had no gasoline
I should have fixed that thing
I should have fixed that thing

How can you go two hundred miles
Without seeing a single soul
I should have stuck on the main road
I should have stuck on the main road

Now i'm waiting, i am waiting
Now i'm waiting, i am waiting
If you saw my face right now
You'd say that i was crying
I'm not, i'm not, i'm not
I'm really smiling

If you saw my hands right now
You'd swear that they were shaking
They're not, they're not, they're not
They're only waving

'cause i am waiting, i waiting
I am waiting, i waiting
I am waiting, i waiting
For someone to come along

Heaven help anybody
The sun is going down
The sun is going down
The sun is going down

I am waiting, i waiting
I am waiting, i waiting
I am waiting, i waiting
I am waiting, i waiting

I used to think that i was a good girl
I used to think that the world was fair
Things have gone just a little bit crazy
Don't think i belong anywhere

I'm not so sure, i don't think i know
And i'm not afraid to tell you i'm a little bit scared
The way things are going i'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going i'm never gonna get there

I used to think that i was a dreamer
I used to have my head in the clouds
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around

I feel so close, i don't think i know
And it's hard for me to tell you, its a little bit weird
The way things are going i'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going i'm never gonna get there

I used to think i was a dreamer

I'm never gonna get there

No the way things are going i'm never gonna get there

I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
