River, Cross My Heart

River, Cross My Heart

 

Verse 1

I’m sick and tired of feeling that I need to care about everything

I know many people that do whatever they please

I don’t want to feel angry

I don’t want to feel sad

I don’t need an ounce of feeling that lives inside me

Verse 2

I’ve been called names

And sometimes I shrug all of them off

But some of them are like weapons

They wound me each time they’re said

Bridge

If I were a turtle

I’d crawl under my shell and remain there

Even if it was for a lifetime

I don’t want to feel angry

I don’t want to feel sad

I don’t need an ounce of feeling that lives inside me

Chorus

River, please cross my heart

Flood every corner of it

Don’t leave any spaces that can succumb to the power of feeling

I need help, so help me now

Depression is more present than it's ever been in my life

I don’t want to show any emotions
