A slow-burning confession draped in smooth R&B textures and singer-songwriter honesty. Mercy on the Second Try blends retro soul warmth with modern adult contemporary polish, pairing intimate storytelling with velvet harmonies and restrained grooves. It’s a song for second chances, quiet reckonings, and the weight of love that may heal… or break again. Warm keys, understated bass, and a steady pulse leave space for the voice to ache, question, and linger. For late-night reflections when the heart is still deciding.

[LYRICS]

You came back home, gave a soft hello
Said the past was gone, we could let it go
But mercy burns ‘til the heat runs thin
Feels like faith… ’til it pulls you in

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to lift me higher?
Or the ropes that pull me tighter?
Mercy on the second try
Feels like wings… or velvet ties

You talk like peace, but the ache won’t cease
Every word you drop leaves the same old crease
I reach for calm, but the night won’t sleep
You call it healing - I call it deep

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to lift me higher?
Or the ropes that pull me tighter?
Mercy on the second try
Feels like wings… or velvet ties

Maybe love’s the risk we choose
When the heart can’t stand to lose
Or maybe it’s the sweetest dare
Pulls you close… then strips you bare

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to keep me steady
Or the chains you think I’ll carry?
Mercy on these second tries
Feels like wings… or binding ties

You came back home, with that low, soft tone
But mercy cuts both ways… and now it’s known

Tell me now… was it love… or just a lie… baby?

Was it love… or just a lie…
