Lyrics
CROSS THAT LINE
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not my fault if you didn't live out your
youthful dreams
Now you want to backtrack, how different it all seems
Love seems to be like alcohol, evaporates before your eyes
The bonds that once were welcome, become the chains we despise
Chorus
When you cross that line, there's no turning back
When you cross that line, don't come knocking at my door
Everyone has got to take some responsibility
The grass is rarely bluer, but you wouldn't take it from me
Finding out the hard way can be an endless affair
I'd stop you if I could, but then again, I wouldn't dare
I'm telling you when I say these words, that
they're not spoken in bitterness
That destructive emotion has long ago left
and these tears that cleanse the soul and let me
start afresh
When you cross that line, what more can I say
When you cross that line, we are no more
We are no more
