Cross On My Heart

(Intro) (spoken / low)

Yeah… feel me. Light a candle, close your eyes — speak it out.

Chorus (Kev-Dogg)

I felt so lost

My past is what’s torn me apart

It’s on constant replay in my thoughts

This pain is a cross on my heart

Lord, I need you, need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

I need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

(Verse 1)

Nightmares in HD, flashbacks like film reels

Every wrong move taped, every cut that won’t heal

Mama prayed on the stoop, I prayed in the booth

But prayer’s a light that flickers when you feed it with truth

I walk through ash of the days I burned bridges on

Count the ghosts in the mirror, every promise is gone

Heavy is the chest when your past won’t let go

Carryin’ that weight like I’m frontin’ some show

Lookin’ for mercy in the static and the noise

Tryna find grace between the sirens and my boys

I confess to the gutter, confess to the sky

If He hears broken, maybe I can finally fly

(Pre‑Chorus)

Hands to the heavens, knees press to the floor

I keep knockin’ but doubt’s on the other side of the door

Voices say “quit,” heart says “fight” — I'm split in two

I’m tryna stitch a new self from the threads of truth

(Chorus) (repeat)

I felt so lost

My past is what’s torn me apart

It’s on constant replay in my thoughts

This pain is a cross on my heart

Lord, I need you, need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

I need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

(Verse 2)

Street taught me lessons with no diploma

Trust was currency; I spent all my soma

Hurt is a teacher but the tuition is steep

I got scars like receipts, reminders I keep

Tried to drown the noise in the bottom of bottles

But sorrow’s a tide — it takes more than paddles

I’m tired of rehearsin’ the same old confessions

Need a miracle remix, a brand new session

Said I’d change on Monday, I lied to the days

The clock keeps tickin’, the guilt lingers in waves

But somewhere between the cracks and the pain

I feel a whisper say I’m not cursed in vain

(Bridge) (melodic, pleading)

Save my mind from the replay, cut the loop on that tape

Break the chain of the shame, lift up this hooded state

If I fall, pick me up — don’t let me stay down

Put a light on my path, lead me out of this town

(Verse 3) (closer, determined)

So I lace up faith like them old Jordans

Step out the shadow, gotta start re-scorin’

Forgive me Lord for the nights I chose wrong

Teach me to walk, even when the road’s long

I’m buildin’ a roof from the pieces I found

Nail by nail, pray by pray — I'm on sacred ground

This is my plea, my verse, my part

Turn this heavy pain into a brand new heart

(Chorus) (final, rising)

I felt so lost

My past is what’s torn me apart

It’s on constant replay in my thoughts

This pain is a cross on my heart

Lord, I need you, need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

I need you to save me

Lord, can you save me from myself?

Lord, can you save me? I need you to save me, I need help

(Outro) (soft, hopeful)

One step, one prayer, one breath at a time

Cross on my heart — but the light’s startin’ to shine
