Pour mercy, mercy on me

Set fire to history

I'm breaking my own rules

I'm crying like a fool

Tall stories on the page

Short glories on the fade

I've been close enough to touch

But I never cared for love.

It's a church of burnt romances

And I'm too far gone to pray

It's a solo song

And it's only for the brave.

If the truth tell

Darling, you fell

Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky

It's a tall tale

And it's only hello, hello, no goodbye.

Pour mercy, mercy on me

I'll fall upon my knees

And they'll say, "I told you so"

Come on, when you know, you know

All the lonely shadow dances

From the cradle to the grave

It's a solo song

And it's only for the brave.
