[Verse 1]

I wish that I drank

Because of you and not only because of me

And then I could blame something painful enough

Not to make me look any more weak

[Verse 2]

When you heard my name

You could be angry and have a good reason to be

And then when I sang

A horrible drunken parade of my worst thoughts

I'd say, "Give me no sympathy"

It's the mercy I can't take

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Oh, I wish you'd come over

Not to stay, just to tell me that I

Was your biggest mistake to my face

And then leave me alone

In an еmpty apartment, face down in the carpеt

I wish you'd hurt me

It's the mercy I can't take
