Cross That Line Songtext
von Howard Jones

It′s not my fault if you didn't live out your youthful dreams
Now you want to backtrack, how different it all seems
Love seems to be like alcohol, evaporates before your eyes
The bonds that once were welcome, become the chains we despise

When you cross that line, there′s no turning back
When you cross that line, don't come knocking at my door

Everyone has got to take some responsibility
The grass is rarely bluer, but you wouldn't take it from me, no
Finding out the hard way can be an endless affair
I′d stop you if I could, but then again, I wouldn′t dare

When you cross that line, there's no turning back
When you cross that line, don′t come knocking at my door


I'm telling you when I say these words, that they′re not spoken in bitterness
That destructive emotion has long ago left
And these tears I've cried are not the tears of regret
They′re tears that cleanse the soul and let me start afresh

When you cross that line, there's no turning back
When you cross that line, don't come knocking at my door
When you cross that line, what more can I say
When you cross that line, we are no more, we are no more

Cross, cross that line
Cross, cross that line, there′s no turning back
Cross that line, what more can I say
Cross, cross that line

Cross that line, what more can I say
Cross, cross that line
Cross, cross that line, there′s no turning back now
Cross that line, what more can I say
