Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (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 (watch it crash)
|
And there ain't no right or 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
|
"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 (watch it crash)
|
And there ain't no right or 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
|
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
|
(Slows down)
|
We can't quite blame it on our mothers
|
Claim everything they did was always wrong
|
And there ain't no turning back, when the train is off its track
|
And there's nothing we can do, but watch it crash
|
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know we won't be long
|
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
|
Watch it crash and there's nothing we can do, but watch it crash...
