Cross Your Heart
Stellar Revival Lyrics

You pocket dialed me from LA
You accidentally called me from LA

you sounded like you're drunk
Your voice was slurred as if you were under the influence of alcohol

Now thanks to you I'm wide awake
I can't sleep because of what you did

replaying what went wrong
I keep going over the events in my mind and trying to figure out what caused the problem

It hurts like hell
The emotional pain I feel is unbearable

remembering all too well
I can recall the events and emotions of that time perfectly

That little bunk bed at your mama's where you promised me
I remember the specific place where you made me a promise

(you'd never break my heart)
The promise was that you would never hurt me emotionally

You couldn't have said more honestly we'd never see
You were so sincere when you said nothing would ever go wrong

(it ever fall apart)
You promised that our relationship would never end

I know time can heal wounds,
I understand that time can help heal emotional pain

but you're not supposed to lie
However, you shouldn't make false promises

when you cross your heart and hope to die
When you make a promise, you should intend to keep it

It seems like it was just yesterday
It feels like only a short time has passed

making plans and making love
We were very much in love and had plans for the future

And all our dreams fell into place
Everything seemed perfect and our hopes and wishes were coming true

everything was looking up
Our lives were going well

But that's long gone
However, all of that is now in the past

and I'm still here
I'm still stuck in the present, dealing with the aftermath of our broken promises

holding on
I'm struggling to let go of the past and move on

To that little bunk bed at your mama's where you promised me
I can't stop thinking about the place where you made that promise

(you'd never break my heart)
The promise that you would never cause me emotional pain

You couldn't have said more honestly we'd never see
You were so sincere when you promised that nothing would ever go wrong

(it ever fall apart)
You promised that our relationship would never end

For a while I felt defeated
I was struggling with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness for a period of time

I can't describe that feeling
I cannot put into words how I felt during that time

It finally went away
Thankfully, those feelings eventually subsided

just when I thought I was safe
When I thought that everything was going well

cause I remember that little bunk bed at your mama's where you promised me
I'm reminded of your promise every time I think of that place

(you'd never break my heart)
The promise that you would never cause me emotional pain

You couldn't have said more honestly we'd never see
You were so sincere when you promised that nothing would ever go wrong

(it ever fall apart)
You promised that our relationship would never end

It's hard to let go with a ghost like that still in my head
It's difficult to move on when I'm constantly reminded of our broken promise

(but harder to deny)
Although it's tough to let go, it's even more challenging to ignore reality

I miss that ringtone but it brings me back to what you said
Although I miss hearing your voice, it reminds me of the promise you made me

cross your heart and hope to die
It's important to always keep your promises

(and hope to die)
A phrase sometimes added to emphasize the importance of the promise made

I know time can heal wounds,
Although it may be difficult, I know that eventually the pain will subside

but you're not supposed to lie
However, we should always strive to be honest with others

(you're not supposed to lie)
Emphasizing the importance of honesty

when you cross your heart and hope to die
When making a promise, it's important to have the intention of keeping it

cross your heart and hope to die
A phrase conveying the importance of keeping a promise
