Rough Mercy

You see through me

I’m wet laundry you’ve just hung out to dry

You require

That my tired ways don’t ruin your life

You inspire

A new kind of angel coming to light

And I believe, I believe

Born a doubter

Down and out-er, nothing ever felt real

Never found a reason sound until the day you appeared

Undeniable, on fire, I was blind but it’s clear

I believe, I believe

Take all my confessions

Baby, curse them, maybe bless them

Before you I was a person

I don’t want to be

But you heal me and you hurt me make me better, make me worry looking through me in the places only lovers see

And it’s a rough mercy

It’s a rough mercy

You talk the talk and walk on water, with your miracle heart and I am bound to be a casualty but baby so what you’re redeeming everything, I’ll give it all that I’ve got

I believe, I believe

Take all my confessions

Baby, curse them, maybe bless them

Before you I was a person

I don’t want to be

But you heal me and you hurt me make me better, make me worry looking through me in the places only lovers see

And it’s a rough mercy

It’s a rough mercy

So c’mon write me in your pages

Baby we’ve got something ageless

Give me heaven, give me hell,

But you’re the one I need

And it’s a rough mercy

Rough mercy
