The Only Way Out

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, "l'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 (I'm still in a cage)
 And I hear mercy say (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, "l'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 (I'm still in a cage)
 And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now
 It's the only way out
