Merciful Wound by Caroline McQuaig Lyrics

[Verse]
I’m 17 again, fumbling and modest
Same old couch and that same silly promise that
It’s just you and me and no one else will ever see
If that’s enough for you, babe, it’s fine by me

[Chorus]
This merciful wound that you left on my heart
Grateful for the bleeding
Keeps me from falling apart
I just keep following you
But you’re the one that’s lost
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is that’s just the cost

[Verse]
Of waiting on promises we can’t fulfill
Wishing on teardrops that it could be real
You were mine for so long, mine in my mind
Knowing the truth has made it harder to find
Now it’s locked away, all the love that we made
But if that’s your treasure, babe, it’s enough for me
[Chorus]
This merciful wound that you left on my heart
Grateful for the bleeding
Keeps me from falling apart
I just keep following you
But you’re the one that’s lost
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is that’s just the cost

[Bridge]
Is absinthe still your lullaby?
Do you still feel the need?
When you lift your head and close your eyes
Do you still see me?
So many questions, but of one thing I’m sure
I’m in love with the scar you left
I hope you like yours

[Chorus]
This merciful wound that you left on my heart
Grateful for the bleeding
Keeps me from falling apart
I just keep following you
But you’re the one that’s lost
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is that’s just the cost
