The Only Way Out Lyrics - Andra Day

If you could look inside my life 

And use my eyes, would you pity me? 

Would you see the desperate nights 

And all the lies that brought me to my knees 

I keep thinking that I have to make you fall 

The way I fell from your betrayal to bring me peace of mind 

will let you move along, just walk away 

And wear a cape like you're some hero 

I can not hear love cause we're at war 

And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud 

But oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say "l'm here now" 

And it's the only way out 

I can not hear love cause we're at war 

But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud 

But I'm still in a cage and I hear mercy say now 

It's the only way out 

I used to hear my father say, "Counterplay ends in defeat" And I said I'd never be that way 

Tried to make you pay cause it would cost me 

But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this I guess every story twists 

People tell me let it go, oh, and forget 

I can not hear love cause we're at war 

And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud 

But oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say "l'm here now" 

And it's the only way out 

I can not hear love cause we're at war 

But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud 

But I'm still in a cage and I hear mercy say now 

It's the only way out 

Mercy's the only way out 

Mercy gave me my way out ...
