The Only Way Out lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 will let you move along, just walk away

And wear a cape like you're some hero

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Mercy's the only way out

Mercy gave me my way out
