The Only Way Out

If you could look inside my life And use my eyes, would you pity me? Would you see the desperate nights And all the lies that brought me to my knees? I keep thinking that I have to make you fall The way I fell from your betrayal To bring me peace of mind I will let you move along, just walk away And wear a cape like you're some hero I can't hear love 'cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But, oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say, "l'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love 'cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage) And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now It's the only way out I used to hear my father say, "Counterplay ends in defeat" And I said I'd never be that way Tried to make you pay 'cause it would cost me But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this I guess every story twists People tell me let it go, oh, and forget I can't hear love 'cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But, oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say, "l'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love 'cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage) And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now It's the only way out Oh, oh, oh, whao Oh, oh, oh, whao Mercy's the only way out Mercy gave me my way out
