Angel of Mercy

Every time I see you it's so much better than the time before

You seem to be improving… when you turn on the charm

It's impossible to ignore

Yeh I suppose that means you're getting older

People know your face…

All those friends and relations… everyone must have a place

For a guarantee of friendship

Rule of thumb ain't good enough any more

Oh we shared our secrets, we had a common foe

And when you changed your mind, you always let me know

Somehow we were always on the right side of wrong

And when the lines were drawn

You were an angel of mercy

You were the one that I used to believe in

You were an angel of mercy

Now the tables have turned

And I can see right through you

You made it look so easy, yeah you were always right

From tenderness to treason you faded out of sight

Behind a veil of sophistication, you looked so good

But now the party's over I know I should have understood

That it's a crime to be too easy and it's a crime to be too glad

So now I've cut my losses it doesn't feel so bad

So if I try to reach you by telling you a lie

It's just another long goodbye

You were an angel of mercy

You were the one that I used to believe in

You were an angel of mercy

Now the tables have turned

And I can see right through you

Every time I see you it's so much better than the time before

You seem to be improving… when you turn on the charm

It's impossible to ignore

You were an angel of mercy

You were the one that I used to believe in

You were an angel of mercy

Now the tables have turned

And I can see right through you
