Mercenary

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He's crying inside, can't tear the hurt out Life's rushing by like an old movie backdrop The radio's blasting song after song About the big romance that went all wrong [Chorus] She says, "I just wanted to make you I never meant to break you" He says, "Have some mercy on me Do you have to be such a mercenary?" [Verse 2] She's scheming inside Can't stop the wheels turning Been through it before There's no profit or learning She's not really bad, just a gold-plated heart So scared to be alone, it rips her apart [Chorus] She says, "I just wanted to make you I never meant to break you" He says, "Have some mercy on me Do you have to be such a mercenary?" [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] She says, "I just wanted to make you I never meant to break you" He says, "Have some mercy on me Do you have to be that way?" I just wanted to make you I never meant to break you He says, "Have some mercy on me Do you have to be such a mercenary?"
