Текст Andra Day — The Only Way Out

If you could look inside my life
And use my eyes, would you pity me?
Would you see the desperate nights
And all the lies that brought me to my knees
I keep thinking that I have to make you fall
The way I fell from your betrayal to bring me peace of mind
I won’t let you move along, just walk away
And wear a cape like you’re some hero

I can’t hear love ’cause we’re at war
And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud
But oh, I’m in a cage and I hear mercy say «I’m here now»
And it’s the only way out
(I can’t hear love ’cause we’re at war)
But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud
But I’m still in a cage and I hear mercy say now
It’s the only way out

I used to hear my father say, «Counterplay ends in defeat»
And I said I’d never be that way
Tried to make you pay ’cause it would cost me
But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this
I guess every story twists
People tell me let it go, oh, and forget

I can’t hear love ’cause we’re at war
And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud
But oh, I’m in a cage and I hear mercy say «I’m here now»
And it’s the only way out
(I can’t hear love ’cause we’re at war)
But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud
But I’m still in a cage and I hear mercy say now
It’s the only way

Mercy’s the only way out
Mercy gave me my way out
