[Verse 1]

Mercy

Why you gotta show up lookin' so good just to hurt me?

Why you wanna stop this whole damn world from turning?

Mercy

Why you hanging on so tight if this ain't working?

Why you wanna stop this flame if it's still burning?

'Cause it's still burning

[Chorus]

So if you're gonna break my heart, just break it

And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it

Take it

If you made up your mind, then make it

But make this fast

If you ever loved me

Have mercy

[Verse 2]

If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely

Wind up home alone

Please don't call me

And say you miss me, no

[Chorus]

If you're gonna break my heart, just break it

And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it

Take it

If you made up your mind, then make it

But make this fast

If you ever loved me

Have mercy

[Bridge]

Whoa

Oh, have mercy

[Chorus]

If you're gonna break my heart, just break it

And if you're gonna take your shot, take it

Take it

Oh, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it

And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it

Take it

If you made up your mind, then make it

Make this fast

If you ever loved me

Mm, if you ever loved me

Have mercy

[Outro]

Oh, have mercy

Oh, have mercy

Have mercy
