Nick Teale - Cross

Once upon a time you were the hand that I could hold
And I was the rock you laid your head upon
And still your hand is warm but my heart has gone stone cold
Cause I know the love we shared is dead and gone

We burned out like a cigarette
And now your love is just my Nicorette
It's never enough, but I can't give it up
And I'll take every drop I can get

Cause I need you now
To heal the loneliness inside
The thoughts of worthlessness and shattered pride
I need to know you're there, to know you'll always care
But I know it's not fair, it's not your cross to bear

More than just a lover, you've been my closest friend
And I know that you are still
And I will always cherish you until the bitter end
Like I know you always will

But I'll no longer be the reason why
Your face turns rosy as you close your eyes
Cause I'm never enough, but please don't give me up
You're all that I need to survive

Cause I need you now
To heal the loneliness inside
The thoughts of worthlessness and shattered pride
I need to know you're there, to know you'll always care
But I know it's not fair, it's not your cross to bear

And I know you wouldn't mind
And I know you'd find the time
To console and reassure me of my worth
You'd be there for me I know
And it only goes to show
You were always so much more than I deserved

Cause I need you now
To heal the scars you left behind
The fear and jealousy that's come alive
I need to know you're there, to know you'll always care
But I know it's not fair, it's not your cross to bear
