[Verse 1]

Pour mercy, mercy on me, set fire to history

I'm breakin' my own rules, I'm cryin' like a fool

Tall stories on the page, short glories on the fade

I been close enough to touch, but I never cared for love

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a church of burnt romances

And I'm too far gone to pray

It's a solo song and it's only for the brave

[Chorus]

If the truth tell, darling, you fell

Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky

It's a tall tale, and it's only hello, hello, no goodbye (Goodbye)

[Verse 2]

Pour mercy, mercy on me, I'll fall upon my knees

And they'll say, "I told you so

Come on, when you know, you know"

All the lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave

It's a solo song and it's only for the brave
