Smoke and Lace - Have Mercy

It’s worth its weight in gold

And no one has to know

I try not to complain

But I do it anyway

Anyway, anyway, anyway

So start me off in the beginning

You always said it was so bittersweet

How the feeling rushed from your head

And when I swept you off your feet

So hold your heavy groan

You always piss and moan

You try not to complain

But you do it anyway

Wake up, wake up I am at your door

And I’m not trying to fight anymore

Smoke and lace

There are things I can’t remember, they’ve become so commonplace

Smoke and lace

Take me back to the room that you used to rent

Where every wall was lined with discontent

So hold me close to your chest

And make sure everyone you meet from this point on knows that those years were

the best

I keep mine close to the others

Cause they come one after another

And I’m a selfish kind of lover

But you knew that anyway

Wake up, wake up I am at your door

And I’m not trying to fight anymore

Smoke and lace

There are things I can’t remember, they’ve become so commonplace

Smoke and lace

Take me back to the room that you used to rent

Where every wall was lined with discontent

And I keep the notes you wrote in a drawer in my room

I pull them out and read them

And I just don’t believe 'em

I hope you’re doing good

You did the best you could

Take what you want from me

I just need room to breathe

You’ve got all the space you’re needing

And all of this was so misleading

Smoke and lace

There are things I can’t remember, they’ve become so commonplace

Smoke and lace

Take me back to the room that you used to rent

Where every wall was lined with discontent
