Time stands too still
Left you there for the kill
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
Leaves a man with nothing

There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Love grows a fear
Suites your taste of bitter ends
But this stake that holds you in
Leaves no place to begin

There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time for selling lies
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Words seem so blind
I've been pushed far aside
To my choice seems too small
Any move and I could fall

There's just no mercy in your eyes, child
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm not preaching to the choir
I'm just a painful reminder
And you're a fool to satisfy

    they improv an extra part @ the end of the song live:

    yeah and so why can't you see child why won't you feel love I'm on my knees

    yeah and on why won't you speak child why can't you dream on I'm on my knees

    yeah and so on why won't you see child why can't you feel love I'm on my knees I'm right here for you
