Have Mercy - Good Christian Man lyrics

[Verse 1] I wrote down every single name Of all the people that I've hurt And watched it burn I laid my face against the pulpit Confessed to myself all the lessons I had learned I was fair and I was stern [Pre-Chorus] They wrote me off They wrote me a letter saying you're as good as gone But I want it bad [Chorus] To be loved and feel hated still Don't give up, there's a void you fill To be loved and feel hated We've got it wrong We want to feel safe but we'll never belong [Verse 2] I regret to tell myself That it's not the person that I should become So I'll drink wine and think it's fine That I'm comfortable with my limbs going numb I'm back where I started from [Pre-Chorus] They wrote me off They wrote me a letter saying you're as good as gone But I want it bad [Chorus] To be loved and feel hated still Don't give up, there's a void you fill To be loved and feel hated We've got it wrong We want to feel safe but we'll never belong [Bridge] It was always the plan Become a good Christian man They can't learn to respect my happiness It was always the plan [Chorus] To be loved and feel hated still Don't give up, there's a void you fill To be loved and feel hated still Don't give up, there's a void you fill To be loved and feel hated We've got it wrong We want to feel safe but we'll never belong
