Melissa Ferrick Mercy Lyrics

would you tell me please
what happened to me
I know I was there
but I have no memory
would you give me a picture
would you give me a trigger word
would you tell me where was I
when the color-me-in sky came down

this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one
I need mercy

this is not mine
these thoughts that blind me
this unfounded fear
this constantly seeking escape
alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I have felt before
when I drank away all of my problems
until I drank myself on the floor this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this, I need mercy

and I know that I am not healthy
yeah, but who really is
at least I am trying something
at least I am willing to give in
I know that this is a never ending process
this growing up thing
yeah but, sometimes, life on life's terms
means that I do not get to win

this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one, I need mercy
give me mercy
mercy
