Cross My Heart (demo version) Lyrics
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Painted pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend until 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
[verse in demo version only]
I don't know
But I find the speedy hands of time
Are waving 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 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
So I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart, and I hope to live
[verse in demo version]
I don't know
But I feel that safety isn't real
With everybody acting all the same
For the rules will ruin the game
So I 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 see that every thing is free
When you're young and treasures you can take

But the bridge is bound to break
And you reach the end screaming "It's all been a mistake"
So I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart, and I hope to live
Well I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Painted pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend
Until 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
