Cross My Heart, Hope To Die Lyrics

Remember when I gave everything. And you finally came around. It’s not going to work that way this time. You forgot, I forgave, you moved on. What can I do when words can’t count the tears for my eyes? Or the smiles that were once on your face. So, beautiful, so perfect everyway. Nothing I could will ever change, anything at all. Everything with us depended on those smiles, or those words. I tried everything I could think of. I guess I fell to far behind, or maybe I just can’t think of anything to make you think twice. You’re still here, behind my reflection, ahead of my tears, in my shadow. Near the face you showed me in the moon, saving me from myself and my helplessness. What can I do when words can’t count the tears for my eyes? Alone, and I could never see another way. Just taking this for granted everyday. Your eyes keep pretending you’re awake. That smile has never felt the same. I’m still lost and you know it.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
