[Verse 1]
Ahh when you cross that line that you know you can't erase
To fall in lust, not love, ain't no sin at all
And tell me when your with your best friend's friend, do you still feel out of place?
No thanks, I took that ride
God only knows I tried believing

[Chorus]
I imagine everyone sometimes
Would cross their heart and hope to die to tell "I love you" lies
I imagine everyone survives
For giving up all that you got to tell "I love you" lies

[Verse 2]
First time you look for love, you find you don't know jack
Yeah, so much for mind games you play to win
'Cause first you lose your heart's desire, then you get it back
But ignorance ain't bliss
There's so much more behind the kiss I'm feeling

[Chorus]
I imagine everyone sometimes
Would cross their heart and hope to die to tell "I love you" lies
I imagine everyone survives
For giving up all that you got to tell "I love you" lies

[Bridge]
When loneliness and paranoia feeds me
God help the person who needs me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
If ignorance is bliss, then take me off the list, I'm leaving

[Chorus]
I imagine everyone sometimes
Would cross their heart and hope to die to tell "I love you" lies
I imagine everyone survives
For giving up all that you got to tell "I love you" lies

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
