Pour mercy, mercy on me
Set fire to history
I'm breakin' my own rules
I'm cryin' like a fool
Tall stories on the page, short glories on the faint
I been close enough to touch
But I never cared for love

It's a church of burnt romances
And I'm too far gone to pray
It's a solo song and it's only for the brave

If the truth tell, darling, you'd feel
Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky
It's a tall tale, and it's only hello
Hello, no goodbye (Goodbye)

Pour mercy, mercy on me
I'll fall upon my knees
And they'll say, "I told you so
Come on, when you know, you know"
All the lonely shadow dances
from the cradle to the grave
It's a solo song and it's only for the brave
