Andy Mineo – Cross My Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ink]
I am more than a number
I’m a feeling not a color
I’m a sacrifice
I gave up all my fears and my doubts
They say I gotta be a hero
But tell me who gone save me though
I paid the price
Don’t you know the future’s right now
Can you tell me who I’m supposed to be
If I can’t be myself?
Tell me who’s gonna help
Help me
So I

[Chorus: Ink]
Cross my heart, I hope to live forever
I hope this pain don’t last too long
Too long
Keep holding on, we all in this together
The war ain’t over, carry on
Stay strong

[Verse 2: Andy Mineo, Ink]
It took a world emergency to gеt some break time
Took a pandеmic just to make that FaceTime
Call I probably shoulda made last Fall
Didn’t yesterday I say I’m gon do that tomorrow?
That’s a everyday thought
So I prayed and I meditate hard
If I take a L, learned and I elevate yah
Ain’t no elevators on the stairway to Heaven
God, I ain’t always quite clear on direction ’cause
Life ain’t seem to go how I planned it
Things’ll pop out and malfunction shout Janet
We always take for granted
What we think is set in granite
What if we didn’t panic but instead we took advantage
Of the time that we got right now
I knew how short it was when my mom timed out
I held her inside my arms, pain don’t last too long
This ain’t forever, it’s just ’bout right now
I’ll see you again
Can you tell me who I’m supposed to be
If I can’t be myself?
Tell me who’s gonna help
Help me
So I

[Chorus: Ink]
Cross my heart, I hope to live forever
I hope this pain don’t last too long
Too long
Keep holding on, we all in this together
The war ain’t over, carry on
Stay strong
Hey

[Outro: Fran Mineo & Andy Mineo]
There you are Andy, you didn’t forget me
I knew you’d come back for me
So all in all, it’s been a journey, I’m a very thankful mother
It’s been great, not easy, but great
Oh, it’s over, that’s it, goodbye, cut
