[Verse 1]
It's good to see you girl
Since you been gone it's been a lonely world
For me
It's been so long
And I've been holding on to memories
Of how we used to be
To think that I
Was fool enough to cast your love aside
For foolish pride
But love, I learned
I played with fire, had my fingers burnt
Yes, I have learned

And as the trees
I think I [?] this lonely heart of mine
It's yours if you return

[Chorus]
I cross my heart
I swear I won't misuse your love again
And I cross my heart
Without your loneliness you'll never end

[Verse 2]
Darling, my little darling
I know I'm to blame, I'm so ashamed
I thought love was just a game
But now I see
My destiny is to live a lonely life
Since I sacrificed your precious love
You gave to me
Come back to me
And end this misery that I'm existing in
Darling let me in again

[Chorus]
I cross my heart
I'll never, never make you cry again
And I'll cross my heart
I'll never make you say goodbye again
Oh no
Oh no
I crossed my heart
I swear I'll never never, never misuse your love again
I cross my heart
That I'll never, never make you cry again
And I cross my heart
