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
