Hope To Die

(From The Album "Artificial Hip")

There's hole in the wall where the plaster broke your fall
There's a stain on the door and a fresh one on the floor
There's a vase in the room filled with roses in full bloom
And a note signed in pen reading, "It won't happen again."

Chorus
Cross my heart, hope to die
Cross my heart, hope to die

There's a frame in the hall where a picture fell from the wall
of a boy you once knew who can smash your dreams in two
So you stare at his face, put the picture back in its place
and you say, "I'm to blame - I won't make you angry again"

Chorus

Have you forgotten every word he said that wasn't true?
Every time in anger that he raised a hand to you?
Or do you sit alone at night and whisper through your cries
"Cross my heart, hope to die."

Cross my heart, hope to die...
