Cross My Heart

Lyrics

I don't know, but it seems that every single dream is painting pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair, and it starts to bend, and by the end it's a nightmare
But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know, but it's true so many things you do
Please you so they leave you feeling warm
It's the calm before the storm
For the habit grows, and before you know it you're deformed
But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know, but I feel the safety isn't real
With everybody acting all the same
For the rules will ruin the game
So I'll go my way laughing while they say that I'm insane
Yes, I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know, but I find the speedy hands of time
Are wailing out a warning on the wall
But nobody heeds the call
And the soldier obeys while the parson prays for his downfall
But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know, but I see that everything is free
When you're young the treasures you can take
But the bridge is bound to break
And you reach the end screaming it's all been a mistake
But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live
