[Verse 1]
I remember all the wild nights
Coming home after sunrise
I was never letting this life
Burn me out or pass me by
You waited patiently (Patiently)
While I broke up all our dreams (All our dreams)
Please forgive me, what a fool I've been
What a fool I’ve been

[Chorus]
Mercy on me
For the things I have done
Now I know I was wrong
Come back to me
I surrender my soul
It's my heart that you hold
I can't change it
All this blame, it
Keeps tearing me apart
Mercy on me
Forgive me my sins
We could try once again

[Verse 2]
Always living to the limits
Doin’ things I shouldn't do
If there was trouble I was in it
Always breaking all the rules
You stood right by my side (By my side)
Through all those lonely nights (Lonely nights)
Please forgive me, how could I be so blind
So blind

[Chorus]
Mercy on me
For the things I have done
Now I know I was wrong
Come back to me
I surrender my soul
It's my heart that you hold
I can't change it
All this blame, it
Keeps tearing me apart
Mercy on me
Forgive me my sins
We could try once again

[Bridge]
Please hear me while I pray (While I pray)
Think back to all those better days
Salvation's all I need (All I need)
I know now what a fool I've been

[Chorus]
Mercy on me
For the things I have done
Now I know I was wrong
Come back to me
I surrender my soul
It's my heart that you hold
I can't change it
All this blame, it
Keeps tearing me apart
Mercy on me
Forgive me my sins
We could try once again
Mercy on me
