Текст песни The Throne - Mercy Me

this isn't the way it's meant to be
emotions got tangled together
the feeling was new, it set me free
but life with regret is forever

took it all for granted
but it's hard to go back again

oceans of words turned into leaves
falling and spreading the rumor
I 've severed the end despite the means
they're hinting that we have no future

took it all for granted
and I want to go back again
now you look so stranded
can't get you out of my head

this isn't the way it's meant to be
you weren't supposed to be without me
it's what we lacked that set us free
forgive, show mercy

took it all for granted
and I want to go back again
now you look so stranded
can't get you out of my head

mercy me
release me from my balladry
so I can put these words to bed
