NO MERCY
Makthaverskan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came in my life, showing me the bright lights
I was blown away
The first boy to show me love
then takes it away the next day when I had lost myself

Fuck you for fucking me when I was seventeen
You knew it all the time
You never loved me you wanted to own me
Your time will come, my friend

I hope that you cannot sleep, I hope you lose all of your dreams
for taking my youth away
Now years has gone and I know you are all alone
I'm forgetting you when I'm alone

Fuck you for fucking me when I was seventeen
You knew it all the time
You never loved me you wanted to own me
Your time will come, my friend

You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back




You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
