Andra Day - The Only Way Out lyrics

[Verse 1] If you could look inside my life And use my eyes, would you pity me? Would you see the desperate nights And all the lies that brought me to my knees I keep thinking that I have to make you fall The way I fell from your betrayal to bring me peace of mind I will let you move along, just walk away And wear a cape like you're some hero [Chorus] I can't hear love cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say "I'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage and I hear mercy say now It's the only way out [Verse 2] I used to hear my father say, "Counterplay ends in defeat" And I said I'd never be that way Tried to make you pay cause it would cost me But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this I guess every story twists People tell me let it go, oh, and forget [Chorus] I can't hear love cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say "I'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage and I hear mercy say now It's the only way [Outro] Mercy's the only way out Mercy gave me my way out
