I said Lord, have some mercy on my soul 'Cause it seems like I'm slipping down below If I had a dollar for each thing I regret I would have a fortune to spend But still I'd be in debt The past is getting closer, unable to forget I'll throw myself in front of your car Before you hit the brakes And it is all I ever need Tell you it's all I ever had Yes it is all I ever need Telling you it's all I ever. I said Lord, have some mercy on my soul 'Cause it seems like I'm slipping down below I said Lord, have some mercy on my soul 'Cause it feels like I'm slipping down below All the things that reminds me of my sins I close my eyes and try to inhale, it's like needles and pins Memories, like a burden that's planted on my chest Been diluted by years of abuse, but I well can feel the taste There is no more colour Can you hear me holler your name Then one day you caught her, Asked me for her hand Watched myself burst into flames Now I'm smiling on command Standing by as lover, Always second best Mommy said there'll be days like this Yeah, but what about the rest?
