You got a hold of me, don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet, but I fall when I'm around you
Show me an open door, you go and slam it on me
I can't take it anymore
I'm saying baby, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart, even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Baby, please have mercy, mercy
On my heart, baby, please have mercy
Mercy on my heart
I drive through the night
Just tipping you, baby
Hard open to testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not asking for a lie
Just that you're honest with me
My pride, that's all I got
I'm saying baby, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart, even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
Would you please have mercy on me?
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to say
Set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy
On my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy
On my heart
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my bones

Consuming all the air inside my bones
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy
On my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy
On my heart
I'm begging you for mercy
On my heart
On my heart
