Never the Less - Cross My Heart lyrics

I can't sleep I can't eat If I give them what they want Will they just let me be Who I am? I'm not like them I'm sick of nodding my head At the things that I can't stand This is it Oh, my friends I've tried so hard But I cannot pretend Cross my heart Hope to make it out alive Their helping hands Look more like suicide If I don't make it out Remember that I tried Cross my heart I hope to breathe this time Day by day Night by night I sat alone with pen and page Trying to do what's right God, I pray Shed some light 'Cause if I burn I want to burn out bright You make all things new And no one needs it like I do I need You
