lyrics

Every now and then I get the feeling
I should have left here long ago
I've asked myself a million times
Why I never headed out that door
There's nothing up my sleeve
No magic here for me
And leaving would be like mercy
Like mercy

Charity demands a certain melody
As yet I'm unprepared to sing
It's not that I don't care you know girl
In my heart I swear I'd give you anything
But when it comes to you and me
There's no tapestry to weave
And leaving would be like mercy
Like mercy

Sharp tongues split the night like it's butter
Words collide in air and they scatter
Oh - we never get to the heart of the matter
One quick fix is like every other
In this tug-of-war
I'm tired of keeping score

Tomorrow's not so clear
It's easier to stay here
But leaving would be like mercy
Like mercy...
