Have Mercy On My Soul

(Lyrics - J. Meade, Music - J. Meade/T. Meade)

 

What have I done to deserve this?

You’re making me nervous

I don’t cry or close my eyes

When I see the morning light

With you, it’s all perfect

But perfect’s such a dangerous word

It’s all the added pressure now

Of having just to measure up to

 

Oh no, oh no

Have mercy on my soul

Don’t treat me like this no more

 

You already said goodbye

When you said you’d stay forever

I’ve heard those lies a thousand times

The light will fade from your eyes

And I’ll be stuck in this reverie

And all these notes you leave to find

Will only serve to taunt me

That there was a time you wanted me
