When Mercy Breaks

[Verse 1]

You came in quiet with a hurricane stare

Cold hands shaking like you never cared

I wore your damage like a second skin

Built you a doorway you buried me in

Every promise had a fracture line

Every forever came borrowed on time

Still I stayed when the warning lights burned

Waiting for something that never returned

[Pre-Chorus]

I gave you the best of me

You gave me the blame

Now every memory

Still answers your name

[Chorus]

When mercy breaks

And the whole world shakes

I still hear your voice through the walls I made

When the daylight dies

And the truth unties

I still feel the ghost of the love we saved

I know it's gone

I know it's wrong

But some kinds of hurt just keep holding on

When mercy breaks

I'm the last thing left

Still carrying pieces of what we wrecked

[Verse 2]

I learned your silence your sideways war

The way you loved me then asked for more

We were two matches in gasoline rain

Trying to warm what we only could maim

Now your shadow sleeps where your body stood

And I hate that missing you still feels good

Every scar is a sentence unfinished

Every goodbye somehow undiminished

[Pre-Chorus]

I gave you the best of me

You gave me the blame

Now every memory

Still answers your name

[Chorus]

When mercy breaks

And the whole world shakes

I still hear your voice through the walls I made

When the daylight dies

And the truth unties

I still feel the ghost of the love we saved

I know it's gone

I know it's wrong

But some kinds of hurt just keep holding on

When mercy breaks

I'm the last thing left

Still carrying pieces of what we wrecked

[Bridge]

No halo no savior

No clean escape

Just two broken people

Who learned love too late

[Final Chorus]

When mercy breaks

And the whole world shakes

I still hear your voice through the walls I made

When the daylight dies

And the truth unties

I still feel the ghost of the love we saved

I know it's gone

I know it's wrong

But some kinds of hurt just keep holding on

When mercy breaks

I'm the last thing left

Still carrying pieces of what we wrecked
