Tried every bit of tenderness
You made it hard to break into you ooh
Nothing could ever please
Except to see your face on a cover magazine
Steppin ' on and over anyone or anything in your egotistic way
Tossed every broken promise in pieces on the floor
Pity now you ' re comin ' after me
To pick you up after your showbiz fall
I think this relationship is gonna need a mercy killing
To end it all
Mercy Mercy
Gonna wash your stain away from my soul
Mercy mercy killing
Cleanse it all away
You touch you touch me
Kissed a bitter end goodbye
Iconic classic movie ending you walked away
Did you think I ' d miss a beat ahh
I had somebody else before you left LA
Stepped over anyone or anything
When truth and pain got in the way
Everything you touched in me
You turned to grey
Pity I returned your letter to the box
Probably wrote some heartless storm
Faded all the love I had to black
To end it mercy killing can ' t be wrong
Mercy Mercy
Gonna wash your stain away from my soul
Mercy mercy killing
Cleanse it all away
Buried every memory of my pain with you
Is now decayed and scattered
I don ' t need a requiem no symphony of sadness
Playin ' what was
Mercy Mercy
Gonna wash your stain away
Mercy mercy killing
Cleanse it all away
Mercy Mercy
Gonna wash your stain away from my soul
Mercy mercy killing
Cleanse it all away
