[Verse 1]
Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers, desperate and hardened
Seeking a momentary fix

[Pre-Chorus]
All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart now
All I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it's all my fault now
A tragedy, I fear

[Chorus]
Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel you
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
Fortress of daylight, caught me on standby
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Fly me to nowhere, it's better than somewhere
That's where I've been and nothing's changed

[Pre-Chorus]
All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart now
All I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it's all my fault now
A tragedy, I fear

[Chorus]
Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel you
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Bridge]
A tragedy, seemed to be, but what now?
Oh, now
A tragedy, it seemed to be, but what now?

[Chorus]
Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel you
Whoa, whoa, whoa

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
