MØ – Mercy lyrics

[Verse 1]
By the look in your eyes
I know I fucked up one too many times
When I was on my selfish shit
I thought no matter what you did you'd stay with me
But never in a million years imagined you would really walk away from me

[Chorus]
I need mercy, I'm begging you please
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)
So tell me it's all a bad dream
'Cause I just can't be without you (ooh)
I'm imperfect (ooh)
I was blind, baby please I need
Mercy, I'm down on my knees
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)

[Verse 2]
Open but never worried, she too loved (loved, loved)
I'm a sweet mess with permanent sunglasses on (on, on)
And I know
I know I've been so selfish, shit
I thought no matter what I did, you'd stay with me (stay)
Baby I'm terrified of growing up
Admitting and committing
Oh but please don't, please don't go

[Chorus]
I need mercy, I'm begging you please
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)
So tell me it's all a bad dream
'Cause I just can't be without you (ooh)
I'm imperfect (ooh)
I was blind, baby please I need
Mercy, I'm down on my knees
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)

[Bridge]
Got out of control
Know I should have listened to you
Listened to you long ago
Paranoid of hope
Guess I thought I wanted to be on my own
But hell no, hell no
Stay with me
Stay with me

[Chorus]
I swear I need mercy, I'm begging you please
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)
So tell me it's all a bad dream
'Cause I just can't be without you (ooh)
I'm imperfect (ooh)
I was blind, baby please I need
Mercy, I'm down on my knees
You know I can't sleep without you (ooh)

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Ooh
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
