Cross My Heart

I can't sleep

I can't eat

If I give them what they want

Then, well, then they just let me be

Who I am

I'm not like them

I'm sick at nodding my head

At the thing I can't stand

This is it

Oh, my friends

I've tired so hard

But I cannot pretend

Cross my heart

Hope to make it out alive

Their helping hands look more like suicide

If I don't make it out

Remember that I tried

Cross my heart

Hope to breathe this time

Day by day

Night by night

I sat alone with pen and page

Trying to do what's right

God, I pray, shed some light

Cause if I burn I want to burn out bright

Cross my heart

Hope to make it out alive

Their helping hands, look more like suicide

If I don't make it out

Remember that I tried

Cross my heart

Hope to breathe this time

You make all things new

And no one need you like I do

You know I do

Oh, you make all things new

And no one needs it like I do

I needed you

Cross my heart

Hope to make it out alive

Their helping hands, look more like suicide

If I don't make it out

Remember that I tried

Cross my heart

Hope to breathe this time

Cross my heart

Hope to make it out alive

Their helping hands, look more like suicide

If I don't make it out

Remember that I tried

Cross my heart

Hope to breathe this time
