When you take my hand
In yours, you see
I never thought
It'd happen to me
When you kiss my cheek
Or hold me tight
I know that everything's alright

So cross your heart
And hope to die
Then you'll remain right by my side
Cross your heart
I hope it bleeds
Because my love and yours
Will heal those wounds

Your every word
Ignites my soul
Your every breath
Makes me wonder
Why would God-- whom I disobey --
Grant me you, to guide my way?
I guess I did something right
Or maybe it was wrong

So cross your heart
And hope to die
Then you'll remain right by my side
Cross your heart
I hope it bleeds
Because my love and yours
Will heal those wounds

You are the ending to my songs
Some I still haven't finished
For the sake of adding you
You are those finished products in my book
Some more vibrant than others
Because you make me feel so much more
You are the flame that attracts this moth
Sometimes I'll draw back
'Cause it's harmful to get too close to the sun

So cross your heart
And hope to die
Then you'll remain right by my side
Cross your heart
I hope it bleeds
Because my love and yours
Will heal those wounds

Because I'm the girl in love with you
No other can compare
'Cause you talk to me like no one else
Was ever even there
So you crossed your heart
And hoped to die
And slow and painful death
But, as I promised
I pulled you up
As you once did for me

So cross your heart
And hope to die
Then you'll remain right by my side
Cross your heart
I hope it bleeds
Because my love and yours
Will heal those wounds
