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
