The Only Way Out

The Only Way Out - Andra Day

Written by：Dave Wood/Andra Day

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

Will let you move along just walk away

And wear a cape like you're some hero

I can not 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 I'm here now

And it's the only way out

I can not 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 and 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 not 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 I'm here now

And it's the only way out

I can not 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 and I hear mercy say now

It's the only way out

Mercy's the only way out

Mercy gave me my way out
