Gina Marï - Mercy Lyrics

How did I fall back into that hole again
You're screaming words on a loop in my head
Day in, day out, I'm forced to pretend
Like I'm not affected by what you just said
Thought I knew better
Said I'd never let it get this bad again
When we're together
I run out of oxygen

I wanna shut you up
'Cause your voice is getting louder
Wanna shut you out
And make you go away
'Cause you know what you are
You never cared about me
So just let me out
Show me mercy
'Cause can barely breathe
I can barely breathe

When you fell, you pulled me down
Chewed me up, and spit me right out
Had my world spinning around,
My head underground, just how you wanted
So how can you act like nothing happened
Take some credit for your actions
How can you be fine
When you just tore me up inside

I wanna shut you up
'Cause your voice is getting louder
Wanna shut you out
And make you go away
'Cause you know what you are
You never cared about me
So just let me out
Show me mercy
'Cause can barely breathe
I can barely breathe

Now I'm stuck in the deep end,
Wish I never dived
Tried crawling away
But you kicked dirt in my eyes
I never begged you to hurt me,
So why did you try
And now I'm begging for mercy
My hands to the sky

Sometimes I wonder
If it wasn't just words
Would it hurt the same
Would it be better or worse
Would sticks and stones
Give me reason enough
Or would I stay and suffer
And call it love

I wanna shut you up
'Cause your voice is getting louder
Wanna shut you out
And make you go away
'Cause you know what you are
You never cared about me
So just let me out
Show me mercy
'Cause can barely breathe
I can barely breathe
I can barely breathe
I can barely breathe
Show me mercy,
'Cause I can barely breathe
