Mercy Lyrics - Twelve Mondays - Ari Hest

I met a man responsible 

For an unforgivable crime 

We were at a bar and he said to me 

I'm out, I've done my time 

But you know I will always be begging for mercy 

A few seats down at the corner of the bar 

Sat a mother of two 

She said she'd given up her babies for 

To start her life anew 

All that we've done we hang on to 

All that we've done we belong to 

All that we've done carries on 

Now I feel like the lucky one 

Unlike how I felt before 

Cause thankfully what I've done wrong, 

The guilt I can ignore 

You know I won't be beggin for 

I won't be asking for 

I won't be desperate for mercy 

All that we've done carries on
