My heart is black and my lips are blue 
 I called out your name but you didn't hear it, did you? 
 Heaven have mercy now 
 Lord have mercy now 
 Death have mercy now on me 

 My days are dark and my hours are long 
 The curtains put in here, I belong 
 Heaven have mercy now 
 Lord have mercy now 
 Death have mercy now on me 

 And loving you has turn into a deathwish 
 And there is no way out except for this 
 And without you, I'm living on a deathwish 
 Cause there is no way out except for this 

 My hair is damp and my face is wide 
 Your scent still lingers in the dust of a dozen door light 
 Heaven have mercy now 
 Lord have mercy now 
 Death have mercy now on me 

 My speeches stood and my touch is cold 
 My arm once broken, I feel so old 
 Heaven have mercy now 
 Lord have mercy now 
 Death have mercy now on me 

 And loving you has turn into a deathwish 
 And there is no way out except for this 
 Without you, I'm living on a deathwish 
 Cause there is no way out except for this 

 Oh death have mercy 
 Oh death have mercy 
 Oh death have mercy 
 Just spare me ... 

 Loving you has turn into a deathwish 
 And there is no way out except for this 
 Without you, I'm living on a deathwish 
 Cause there is no way out except for this
