He made me feel so second-best
I never should
Have let him do it
But when he makes his pretty mess
Somehow you
Just fall into it
Have mercy on him
The love
That I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him
The love
That I saved for him is gone

He wasn't just another touch
He was something I created
And though I loved him much too much
I never thought
My love was wasted
Have mercy on him the love
That I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him the love
That I saved for him is gone

How do you know who you should blame?
You spend your love
Or you conserve it
It's hard to hear him curse my name
At least I know
I don't deserve it
Have mercy on him the love
That I gave him is gone
Have mercy on him the love
That I saved for him is gone

The love that I saved for him is gone
