Lyrics

[00:01.89] .
[00:10.99] I met a man responsible
[00:17.49] For an unforgivable crime
[00:24.25] We were at a bar and he said to me
[00:30.99] I'm out, I've done my time
[00:35.56] .
[00:37.68] But you know I will always be begging for mercy
[00:46.93] .
[00:49.43] A few seats down at the corner of the bar
[00:56.77] Sat a mother of two
[01:01.34] She said she'd given up her babies for
[01:08.65] To start her life anew
[01:15.90]
[01:30.18] All that we've done we hang on to
[01:36.81] All that we've done we belong to
[01:43.62] All that we've done carries on
[01:52.25] .
[01:54.49] Now I feel like the lucky one
[02:00.25] Unlike how I felt before
[02:07.12] Cause thankfully what I've done wrong,
[02:14.12] The guilt I can ignore
[02:18.62] .
[02:20.31] You know I won't be beggin' for
[02:27.93] I won't be asking for
[02:34.37] I won't be desperate for mercy
[02:46.06] .
[02:48.93]
[03:23.30] All that we've done carries on
