lyrics

Cross my heart, hope to die.
I swear I won't say what happened that night.
So starting today things are gonna be all right.
Your best you tried, and yeah you did fine -
no better than fine, perfect in my mind.
In fact, I wish your heart was mine.
And I can hear the memory in my ears,
back to the years and all those tears.
But hear me when I say I'm glad that we steered that way,
because now we're here.

Do you want to get away? Get in the car, we can leave today.
Do you want to celebrate our just made little holiday?
Cause now today is your day.
All the stuff that you used to take,
I'm glad you threw all that away cause now you look so great.
You never need to be afraid just know you went the right way.

Because even though we never get things right,
and it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying,
It's mine to decide when I'll be alright.

I know you're going crazy.
But happy is all that you make me.
And now things are gonna get better baby.
I know everything went wrong, OK.
But now it's time to get some better days.
Cause I don't want to keep acting this way.

Cause man I know we never get things right,
and it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying,
but it's mine to decide when and if I'll be all right..
and that's just a thing that takes time.

So keep going till you know when it's time, when it's right.
Keep showing yourself in that light.
Cause back in school, man that gets cruel,
but one thing is true is that man, now look at you.
Your heart is big enough for two...

Because I can hear the memory in my ears,
back to the years and all those tears.
but hear me when I say I'm glad because we're here.

I know you're going crazy.
But happy is all that you make me.
And now things are gonna get better baby.
I know everything went wrong, OK.
But now it's time to get some better days.
Cause I don't want to keep acting this way.

Cause man I know we never get things right,
and it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying,
but it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright...
and that's just a thing that takes time.
