Mercy Lyrics:

So would ya tell me please
what happened to me
I know I was there
but have no memory
So would you paint me a picture
Would you give me a trigger word
Would you tell me where was I
when the colony sky came down
This is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one I need mercy
mercy
this is not mine
these thoughts that wind
this unfounded fear
this constantly seeking escape
alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I felt before
when I drank away all my problems
until I drank myself on to the floor
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this I need Mercy, yeah
Mercy
I know I am not healthy
yeah but who really is
at least I am trying something
at least I am willing to give in
and I know this is a never ending process
this growing up thing
but sometimes, life on life's terms
means that I don't get to win
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this I need mercy
mercy mercy mercy
I need it give me mercy
I need I need
come on give me Mercy...

Mercy Lyrics:

So would ya tell me please
what happened to me
I know I was there
but have no memory        
So would you paint me a picture
Would you give me a trigger word
Would you tell me where was I
when the colony sky came down
This is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one I need mercy

this is not mine
these thoughts that wind
this unfounded fear
this constantly seeking escape
alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I felt before
when I drank away all my problems

for this I need Mercy, yeah
Mercy
I know I am not healthy

this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this I need mercy
mercy mercy mercy
I need it give me mercy 
I need I need
come on give me Mercy...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
