Intro

Verse 1

Time stands too still

Left you there for the kill

But this hope that sorrow bleeds

Leaves a man with nothing

Chorus

There's just no mercy in your eyes

There ain't no time to set things right

And I'm afraid I've lost the fight

I'm just a painful reminder

Another day you leave behind

Verse 2

Love grows so thin

Suits your taste for bitter ends

But this ache that holds you in

Leaves no place to begin

Chorus

There's just no mercy in your eyes, child

There ain't no time to set things right

And I'm afraid I've lost the fight

I'm just a painful reminder

Another day you leave behind

Instrumental/Riff

Verse 3

Words seem so blind

I've been pushed far aside

Soon my choice seems too small

Any move and I could fall

Chorus

There's just no mercy in your eyes, child

There ain't no time to set things right

And I'm not preaching to the choir

I'm just a painful reminder

And you're a fool satisfied
