[Verse 1]
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Painting pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend 'til 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 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 3]
I don't know
But I feel thе safety isn't real
With evеrybody acting all the same
For the rules will ruin the game
So I'll 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 4]
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 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]
So I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart, and I hope to live
[Verse 6]
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Painting pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend until 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
