I begged for your mercy
When you had a hold of me
Without any power.

There was something wrong
With us.
Every time we were alone
We kept talking about our love.

I looked for open doors
But my love for you stood in the way.
I begged for your mercy
But we kept being pulled closer again.

I couldn't take it anymore.
I begged for mercy.
I was a puppet on your strings.

I knew you didn't mean
To hurt me
But you tore my heart apart.
I begged for mercy on my soul.

I left family and friends
Just to be near you.
I hoped for better days
But they seemed too far back then.

You consumed all the air
In my lungs.
I ripped off the skin on your
Bones.

We sacrificed our life
But I was glad to do it twice.

I begged for mercy for you to
Take it easy on my heart.
Even though you had good
Intentions...
I had to be free.

I couldn't take it anymore.
I was tired of being a puppet
On your strings.
I had to be free.

I begged for mercy.
