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
O 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
O 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
