Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Yes, I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] So I'm gonna give all that I've got to give Cross my heart and I hope to live
