There's a House up on the Hill The Door still opens but it's different how it feels Its Beggin' for a fresh new coat of paint Funny how sometimes I seem to feel the same way You said you weren't one for running You Said Honest & Cross my heart Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart There's a house up on the hill I can see that playhouse That we never got to build You burned and you burned for days Whispers of a family We never got to raise The Room it Still sits empty The one we painted pink Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart Some Houses don't last forever Its not a home with only one I try to hold up these walls But I can't do it alone Some houses don't last forever Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart Running, I'm no longer Running I Said Promise and cross my heart
