[English]
I admit I have my ego
But you asked for it
You could stay there
If you talk too much
Don't let words slip
And not take responsibility
When I go, I go solo
You shouldn't have started
I don't have a tender heart
Get out of my way
I need to move forward
It seems you're not well
It hurts
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy
It hurts
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
I admit I feel pain
Or mercy
In the end, if it's the same, I don't know anymore, anymore
And if we need to remember, we will remember
They will surely remain the same
My number and your number
Ah, you act all pretty, you love yourself more than we love you
You have a hard time admitting it
Happy holidays and happy New Years in plural
For next year and the years to come
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy
It hurts
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
You said it was family
When you cried famine
Since what's happening to me is happening
You have new friends
But I don't need you to feel guilty
I prefer to be ignored
It's not just your belly in life
You have neither pain nor mercy
No mercy, you have neither pain nor mercy
No mercy, no mercy, you
It hurts
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy
It hurts
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
It hurts
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Mercy, mercy
Pain and mercy
Pain and mercy
