[intro] [Spoken:] They say love’s a prison with golden walls. But mercy sometimes waits outside. [verse 1] She holds her vows like sacred threads But some nights she feels half-dead He loves her with his quiet grace But silent tears still stain her face [verse 2] He sees the ache she tries to hide Knows the truths they both deny The world says love means just one way But mercy calls for more than they say [pre-chorus] They’re trapped in all these moral codes Hearts heavy with what’s never told Could love be something more than chains Could mercy come and ease their pain [chorus] If I let you fly, will you come home If I hold too tight, will your soul feel alone Is it betrayal to let you roam Or mercy in the shadows where true love’s grown [verse 3] They whisper prayers in separate rooms Dream of a world that makes more room Where kindness isn’t bound by fear Where love can hold what’s needed near [bridge] We call it sin to seek release But what if mercy brings more peace We shame what we don’t understand And wonder why love slips like sand [chorus] If I let you fly, will you come home If I hold too tight, will your soul feel alone Is it betrayal to let you roam Or mercy in the shadows where true love’s grown [outro] [Spoken:] Maybe love isn’t just sacrifice. Maybe love is giving what you can’t give alone. [end]
