Lyrics

I remember you as a child
You was quiet, sometimes loud
You felt things deep
Even when you didn't have words for it yet
You grow up believing if you're good, if you try hard, if you love
Things will turn out the way they're supposed to
That's what we tell children
But Somewhere along the way
The world starts asking more of you than you're ready to give
It starts taking things it never explains
And suddenly, you're not a child anymore
But you don't feel like a grown man either
This is Cameron Smith
This is Victorian
I remember that girl who wanted to change me
I was paranoid that she would replace me
I'm beggin' for Mercy
I'm telling you I'm beggin' for Mercy
It feels hard to just not panic
I used to be so organic
I'm beggin' for Mercy
Called other girls pretty, said "dang, she's hot"
Like shouting out loud would fix what I just lost
I smiled for attention and I flirted for stares
But none of those faces ever got you outta there
And you hurt me
Left me in the dirty
So heartbroken, so quirky
I fell for your mercy
I was drowning in silence
I was so scared of your truth
But when you left
I didn't know what else to do
I'm the problem (yeah)
Just tell me I'm the problem (yeah)
These people think I'm crazy (yeah)
From the girl that couldn't save me (yeah)
I snapped at my friends, rolled my eyes, shut down, like I ain't heard a thing
They tried to reach me but I wasn't tryna play no games
They acting like it's all funny but I was going insane
But she's the only one who could take away all of my pain
I'm beggin' for Mercy
I'm telling you I'm beggin' for Mercy
It feels hard to just not panic
I used to be so organic
I'm beggin' for Mercy
In space and time
That's a hard place to stand
You start realizing the world isn't fair
That love doesn't always stay
That people leave without warning
That pain doesn't ask how
And you start asking questions
About you
About who you are
About God
About the country
I've watched you try to be strong
I've watched you try to be brave
But I've always seen the boy underneath
