Melissa Ferrick - Mercy Lyrics

So, would ya tell me please
What happened to me?
I know I was there
But have no memory

So, would you paint me a picture
Would you give me a trigger word?
Would you tell me where was I
When the colony sky came down?

This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this one I need mercy, mercy

This is not mine
These thoughts that wind
This unfounded fear
This constantly seeking escape

Alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I felt before
When I drank away all my problems
Until I drank myself on to the floor

This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this I need mercy, yeah, mercy

I know I am not healthy
Yeah, but who really is?
At least I am trying something
At least I am willing to give in

And I know this is a never ending process
This growing up thing
But sometimes, life on life's terms
Means that I don't get to win

This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
This is not my fault
For this I need mercy

Mercy, mercy, mercy
I need it, give me mercy
I need, I need
Come on give me mercy
