Cross My Heart
True Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
Drunk and on the end of your phone
From time to time
Do you guess what's really on my mind?
Guess that "How you keeping now?"
But of course it's not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I'm fine
Glad that you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
You'd be appalled
If you knew what I was doing
When you called
Yes, I can see I'm blundering
And I always end up wondering
Will it ever be all right
To ask you where you spent last night
And can it be polite
The way we never write
Of course I don't have the time,
And anyway I'm fine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, I know it's not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I'm fine
Now you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
I hope we never die
The song "Cross My Heart" by True Faith is a reflection on a past relationship that still has a hold on the singer in the present. Throughout the song, the singer is plagued by thoughts of their ex-partner and the uncertainty and unrequited love that comes with it. The first verse starts with the rhetorical question "Now and then, do you wash your hands of me again?" This question sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer is constantly questioning their ex-partner's loyalty and how they are moving on without them. The singer also expresses a desire to be anywhere but home, as being home brings back memories of their past relationship. The line "drunk and on the end of your phone" seems to suggest that the singer is still calling their ex-partner while under the influence, even though they know it's not a good idea.
The second verse continues with the theme of uncertainty and miscommunication, as the singer wonders if their ex-partner is able to read their mind and understand what they're really feeling. There is an underlying tension between them, indicated by the line "Of course it's not polite, to ask you where you spent last night, and if I did you might reply, that I have no right". The singer also seems to be struggling with moving on, wondering if it will ever be okay to ask their ex-partner about their current whereabouts without it being rude or inappropriate. Overall, the song speaks to the pain and confusion that can come with a breakup, especially when one person isn't ready or able to let go.
Line by Line Meaning
Now and then
Occasionally
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Do you abandon me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
Hope I am somewhere other than home
Drunk and on the end of your phone
Intoxicated and on the receiving end of your call
From time to time
Occasionally
Do you guess what's really on my mind?
Do you speculate what I am actually thinking?
Guess that "How you keeping now?"
Hypothesize that "How are you feeling now?"
Means "Where are you sleeping now?"
Implies "Where are you staying overnight?"
But of course it's not polite
Obviously, it is not courteous
To ask you where you spent last night
To inquire about your previous night accommodation
And if I did you might reply
And if ever I did, you may answer
That I have no right
That I do not have the authority
And anyway I'm fine
Nevertheless, I am doing well
Glad that you're no longer mine
Happy that you are not associated with me anymore
If I should tell a lie
In case I tell a falsehood
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
I swear with my hand over my chest with no intention of breaking it
You'd be appalled
You would be shocked
If you knew what I was doing
If you were aware of what I was executing
When you called
When you made a call
Yes, I can see I'm blundering
Yes, I recognize that I'm making a mistake
And I always end up wondering
And I always end up speculating
Will it ever be all right
Will it ever be okay?
To ask you where you spent last night
To enquire about your recent overnight stay
And can it be polite
And can it be courteous?
The way we never write
The way we seldom communicate
Of course I don't have the time
Certainly, I do not have the time
Now you're no longer mine
Now that you are no longer my concern
Oh, I know it's not polite
Oh, I understand it is not courteous
If I should tell a lie
If I should fabricate
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
I'll swear with my hand over my heart with no intention of breaking it
