Mercy

When I’m selfish, when I’m greedy.
When I’m lonely, when I’m needy,
When I have too much, or don’t have enough.
When I’m too broken, when I’m too tough,

In a low place, in a high place,
In jubilation, in disgrace.
When I’m dark eyed, when I’m empty,
When nothing else can save me.

When I sell my soul and don’t get enough
When the moon is low and the water’s rough
Please say you’ll always give me mercy

When I’m angry, when I’m jealous, 
When I’m hateful, when I’m calloused,
When I’m too deep in my cups,
When I just want to give up.

If I hurt you, when I hurt you,
If I blame you, if I desert you,
If I am too much or I’m not enough,
If I’m too fragile, if I’m too tough,

When it seems like nothing is enough
And I can’t even be saved by love
Please say you’ll always give me mercy.
