Ever since the day our eyes met
I had made a promise to be there forever more
All the time me walking blindly
Couldn’t see the right way
Your persistence my resistance to your other plans
Girl I thought I knew you better
Girl we had the world and all the stars
Swore I’d never break your heart
Dear Lord have mercy on me
‘Coz I can’t forgive the things that happened yesterday
I was true to her but she left me empty
Didn’t know the scars could leave a mark that’s so deep
Dear Lord have mercy on me
On my heart for all that I’ve been through
Like it’s not enough all the things she pretended to be
See the pictures in the papers read the lies on the pages
But I know the ones who love me so
Sometimes that makes no difference to the way I feel inside
(Distancing myself from the world)
It hurts so bad to know that I may have made
My children cry it breaks my heart
Dear Lord have Mercy on me
‘Coz I can’t forgive the things that happened yesterday
I was true to her but she left me empty
Didn’t know the scars could leave a mark that’s so deep
Dear Lord have mercy on me
On my heart for all that I’ve been through
Like it’s not enough all the things she pretended to be
A fairy tale that fell apart
I’m sorry but my heart’s still in two halves
Takes me back to where it all began
But you only show what you want them to see
And you made your choice and it wasn’t me
Dear Lord have mercy on me
‘Coz I can’t forgive the things that happened yesterday
I was true to her but she left me empty
Didn’t know the scars could leave a mark that’s so deep
Dear Lord have mercy on me
On my heart for all that I’ve been through
Like it’s not enough all the things she pretended to be
Dear Lord have mercy on me
‘Coz I can’t forgive the things that happened yesterday
I was true to her but she left me empty
Didn’t know the scars could leave a mark that’s so deep
Dear Lord have mercy on me
On my heart for all that I’ve been through
Like it’s not enough all the things she pretended to be
I hope you find your happiness
