i crossed my heart and hoped to die,
you stuck your needle in my eye
you threw these sticks and threw these stones,
your words did hurt right through my bones

mouth sewn shut and eyes are dead,
i'm no longer sane inside my head
my thoughts are empty and pain is deep,
the nightmares haunt me while i sleep

so ring around my forsaken heart,
as i am falling towards endless dark
ashes to ashes, someone's gonna drown,
but not before i hit the ground

i crossed my heart and hoped to die,
you stuck your needle in my eye
you threw these sticks and threw these stones,
your words did hurt right through my bones

i need to hear the sound of a gun,
feel the bullet i will not run
reach the end of this life alone,
and forget the way the sun once shone

so ring around my forsaken heart,
as i am falling towards endless dark
ashes to ashes, someone's gonna drown,
but not before i hit the ground

i crossed my heart and hoped to die,
you stuck your needle in my eye
you threw these sticks and threw these stones,
your words did hurt right through my bones
