| Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear
|
| Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
|
| And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
|
| But it would linger on for years
|
| It said We can’t just blame it on our mothers
|
| Claim everything they did was always wrong
|
| And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| And there ain’t no right and wrong when we know it won’t be long
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| So mercy, mercy, mercy me
|
| Praying for the death of a man I’ll never meet
|
| Though everyone will know the truth they’ll still just make believe
|
| Mercy mercy me
|
| That’s all they came for, that’s all they took
|
| That’s all we had to offer, only dirty looks
|
| And when they realized we’d given all we could, that’s when they finally
|
| understood
|
| Then We can’t just blame it on our mothers
|
| Claim everything they did was always wrong
|
| And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| And there ain’t no right and wrong when we know it won’t be long
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| So mercy, mercy, mercy me
|
| Haunted by the memories of things we’ll never see
|
| Guilty for the statements that we’ll never get to speak
|
| Mercy mercy me
|
| We can’t just blame it on our mothers
|
| Claim everything they did was always wrong
|
| And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| And there ain’t no right and wrong when we know it won’t be long
|
| And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
| Watch it crash
|
| Yeah there is nothing we can do
|
| But watch it crash |
