The Only Way Out - Andra Day

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

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

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

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

Mercy’s the only way out

Mercy gave me my way out
