Mercy On My Soul - ArlenaZara
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washing my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't seem to reach for the surface
I was still a child when I learned how to hurt
Gave my heart to the fire and I watched it burn
And I'm still trying to find my way back to the start
But I don't know who I are
So go easy on me, baby
I was still learning how to breathe
Go easy on me, baby
I was never taught how to live
I changed my world to fit your name
But I lost myself along the way
So go easy on me
There ain't no room in this silence
For all the words that I've been hiding
I know I should have been braver
But I was scared of the danger
I was raised on the promise of forever
But forever was a chain and I couldn't sever
And I'm still trying to find my way back to the light
But I'm losing my sight
So go easy on me, baby
I was still learning how to breathe
Go easy on me, baby
I was never taught how to live
I changed my world to fit your name
But I lost myself along the way
So go easy on me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
I had no room to grow, I was living for you
And I know that I hurt you and I know that I lied
But I was drowning inside
So give me the grace that I
Never gave
Let me out of this cage
So go easy on me, baby
I was still learning how to feel
Go easy on me, baby
I was never taught love was real
I gave you everything I had
But I was broken inside
So go easy on me
Go easy on me
Go easy on me
I'm still learning
I'm still learning
Go easy on me
