Mercy Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been a long day living with this
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
I took a long walk straight back home
I could've walked back to San Francisco
I used to long for time alone
I used to long for a place of my own
Now I'm losing faith in everything
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see

[Verse 2]
I used to long for broken bones
I used to long for a casket to call my own
I never had a problem facing fear
But I'm done, over and out, my dear, and


[Chorus]
Oh, mercy me
God bless catastrophe
Cause there's no way in hell
We'll ever live to see through this
So drive yourself insane tonight, it's not that far away
And I just filled up your tank earlier today, yeah


[Verse 3]
It's been a long day living with this
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
I took a long walk straight back home
I could've walked back to Chicago
I used to long for time alone
I used to long for a place of my own
And I've lost faith in everything
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
