Lyric Mercy To Go

My heart s getting bigger so I need a new pant size
When you re the towere of strength people climb up your backside
So you don t stay that way too long
You re only temporarily strong
I ve got mercy, mercy to go
I ve got mercy, mercy to go
I ve got mercy, mercy to go
& then it s all gone
you don t swim up and grab a drowning man
cause he ll use you as a life raft if he can
it s better to hold out a branch
then the tree, and then the whole ranch
cause I ve got mercy, mercy to go
I ve got mercy, mercy to go
I ve got mercy, mercy to go
& then it s all gone
as I mature I learn to speak my mind
on the other hand
I learn to be patient & let it rider
Between these two traits is a line
You step on it all of the time
Why do these things always happen to you?
I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too
When we count up all of our wounds
You re the desert, I m one of the dunes
I never met a manipulator that wasn t paranoid
They see in themselves what in others they should avoid
All the devious plans aren t there
Ghosts fly out from under their hair
And I get to hear about it, and it comes in heavy waves
And I m lying under your downer, with no breathing space
And I ve still got mercy, mercy to go
And when it s all gone
I guess it s all gone
