Intro
I used to care too much.
That was my mistake.
⸻
Hook
I ain’t got no mercy left
I done gave my heart, gave my breath
I was kind, they took advantage
Now I move like a threat
Too much loss in my chest
Too many scars I don’t confess
I don’t hate, I just adjust
Now I ain’t got no mercy left
⸻
Verse 1
I used to believe in forever
Used to believe what they said
Used to open my hands
Now I keep them clenched instead
I was loyal to people
Who were loyal to comfort
Soon as it got heavy
They left me to suffer
I don’t cry, I remember
I don’t scream, I evolve
Every time I got crossed
It just built up a wall
You don’t break from the pain
You break from the hope
I stopped hoping for change
Now I just learned how to cope

Hook
I ain’t got no mercy left

Too much loss in my chest
Too many scars I don’t confess
I don’t hate, I just adjust
Now I ain’t got no mercy left

Verse 2
I was soft once
That version dead
Buried him when the lies
Got inside my head
I don’t look for apologies
They don’t change a thing
I just move different now
And that’s everything
I done seen love turn cold
I done seen trust get sold
I don’t beg for respect
I let silence control
You can call me distant
You can call me numb
But you don’t survive storms
Without losing some
⸻
Bridge
I ain’t angry
I ain’t loud
I just don’t bleed
In front of crowds

Hook
I ain’t got no mercy left

Now I ain’t got no mercy left

Guest Verse
I remember when your heart was open
You used to carry everybody’s weight
Used to break yourself just to fix them
Now you barely let them see your face
I seen the nights you stayed up silent
Fighting battles you ain’t speak
I seen the way the trust got twisted
Every time you tried to keep it deep
They don’t know what it cost you
They don’t know what it changed
They just see you moving colder
They don’t see who they made
You ain’t heartless, you just guarded
You ain’t cruel, you just aware
When you give too much to everybody
Ain’t nobody really there
So you cut the rope and kept your balance
Learned to stand without the net
If they call it lack of mercy
It’s just boundaries you protect
You ain’t built for petty vengeance
You just learned to close the door
When the fire burn you long enough
You don’t reach for flames no more

Final Hook (Softer Delivery)
I ain’t got no mercy left
I done gave my heart, gave my breath
I was kind, they took advantage
Now I move like a threat
Too much loss in my chest
Too many scars I don’t confess
I don’t hate, I just adjust
Now I ain’t got no mercy left

Outro
You call it cold.
I call it learned.
