No Mercy Lyrics by Alix Apples

Them Apples

2017

I tried to hold onto your hand
You cried. I didn't understand
It didn't get any clearer when you let go
I tried not to cry
You tried to smile through it all
All the while bracing yourself to fall
It didn't make the pain less when you hit the ground
We tried, for a while
Tell me it gets easier
Mercy! I can't do this much longer
The only thing worse than leaving
Is hearing you say goodbye
Goodbye
Time passed (too fast), our numbers dwindled still
I asked (at last) when would we stop travelling downhill
The only answer I got was another friend to lose
I passed; held fast
Sometimes (most times) I want to just give in
I'm on the decline (is that a crime?), and self-doubt is setting in
But I can't stop now, when I've come this far
I'll be fine next time
Tell me it gets easier
Mercy! I can't do this much longer
The only thing worse than leaving
Is hearing you say goodbye
It seems cruel leaving you behind
But know you're always on my mind
I'll wait 'til it's my turn to go
It scares me because I know
Tell me it gets easier
Mercy! I can't do this much longer
The only thing worse than leaving
Is hearing you say goodbye
Is knowing this is goodbye
Is hearing you say goodbye
