What's the story
behind the song?

Verse I
I can still feel you touch my hair
As you melt away from me there
I look in your eyes so dark and loving
The truth I cannot bare.
Don't know why I turned away
I didn't want you to see my tears
I felt like crying in your arms.

Chorus
You look so weak
I act so strong
You're on the brink
But you're still holding on
I pray to God
I curse its name
I look beyond
I place no blame
But I won't beg for mercy.

Verse II
Can't you see me trembling in my pain
Standing alone, abandoned in the rain.
I see you're shaking too so afraid.
So angry, so vain
We could fall into each other's arms
And kneel and pray as one
But you only turn me away.

Bridge
Your calloused eyes, Your razor words, Your cold stares, Your fake smile
I won't beg for mercy, I won't beg for mercy, I won't beg for mercy, I won't beg…..
