About Mercy

“Mercy” is the second single from Mendes' second studio album Illuminate, which will arrive in September 2016. The track was released on August 18, 2016, as an instant download for people who had pre-ordered the album. During the week leading up to the release, Shawn released a snippet of the song every day, similar to the strategy he used for Illuminate’s lead single “Treat You Better”. On Instagram, Shawn also published shots from the photoshoot for the album cover as a way to promote “Mercy.” .

Mercy Lyrics

[00:13.52] You've got a hold on me
[00:16.74] Don't even know your power
[00:20.24] I stand a hundred feet
[00:23.11] But I fall when I'm around you
[00:26.75] Show me an open door
[00:29.78] Then you go and slam it on me
[00:33.33] I can't take anymore
[00:36.26] I'm saying
[00:37.45] Baby, please have mercy on me
[00:41.59] Take it easy on my heart
[00:44.32] Even though you don't mean to hurt me
[00:48.06] You keep tearing me apart
[00:50.87] Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
[00:57.45] Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
[01:05.56] I'd drive through the night
[01:08.80] Just to be near you, baby
[01:12.17] Heart open, testify
[01:15.24] Tell me that I'm not crazy
[01:18.40] I'm not asking for a lot
[01:21.77] Just that you're honest with me
[01:24.85] My pride is all I got
[01:28.02] I'm saying
[01:29.20] Baby, please have mercy on me
[01:33.35] Take it easy on my heart
[01:36.21] Even though you don't mean to hurt me
[01:39.67] You keep tearing me apart
[01:42.61] Would you please have mercy on me?
[01:46.16] I'm a puppet on your string
[01:49.08] And even though you got good intentions
[01:52.89] I need you to set me free
[01:55.77] Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
[02:02.10] Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
[02:09.53] Consuming all the air inside my lungs
[02:13.01] Ripping all the skin from off my bones
[02:16.31] I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
[02:19.18] I would gladly do it twice
[02:22.60] Consuming all the air inside my lungs
[02:26.05] Ripping all the skin from off my bones
[02:29.35] I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
[02:32.05] I would gladly do it twice
[02:35.75] Oh, please have mercy on me
[02:39.78] Take it easy on my heart
[02:42.82] Even though you don't mean to hurt me
[02:46.02] You keep tearing me apart
[02:49.23] Would you please have mercy on me?
[02:52.88] I'm a puppet on your string
[02:55.43] And even though you got good intentions
[02:59.30] I need you to set me free
[03:02.32] I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
[03:06.53] Begging you, begging you, please, baby (on my heart)
[03:08.78] I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
[03:13.27] Oh, I'm begging you, begging you, yeah (on my heart)
[03:16.54]
