For friends with love and understanding
At your mercy
Because of my need
There when too much takes over
Taking away the pain
Taking away what’s me
Locking me up inside
Twisting freedom into knots
Can’t live without you
Can’t live with what I’ve lost
There’s no escape from you
‘N Nothing can take your place
My every breath is with you
No space left for my escape
Drowns out
Sounds out
Won’t set me free
At your mercy
Because of my need
There when too much takes over
Taking away the pain
Taking away what’s me
Want you but don’t want you
Hate you and hate the need
This corrupt relationship
Is why my heart still beats
Want it to be over
One day to set me free
Wanna laugh cry and sing
Get back the soul of me
Drowns out
Sounds out
Just set me free
At your mercy
Because of my need
There when too much takes over
Taking away the pain
Taking away what’s me
Drowns out
Sounds out
What’s left of me

oh, there's pain in this... Loving the short sharp lines, that would allow a good singer to go to town.... Drowns out, sounds out, just drips off the tongue.

Tit4tat You get that helplessness oozing out in this! Interesting not using the title anywhere only eluding to the effects. Could be a very powerful song ala “ hurt”

Yes, strong lyric about being in a somewhat difficult relationship and at someone's Mercy.
Some great lines in there, such as: Want you, but don't want you / Hate you, but hate the need.
Very descriptive lyric about the inner turmoil of a relationship. Well done.

Strong lyrics. They sound like they come straight from your heart. Hopefully your friends will read them or hear the final song.
