Oh, cross pendant how you mean so much to me

Given as a gift from a dying grandmother

Promising everything turns out okay

Holding on to you like the only thing I have left

 

Oh, cross how helpful you have been

Giving me hope when no hope is to be had

Making me come to you when no one else is there

Being my best friend that I never guessed I would’ve had

 

Oh, necklace how you have made me mad

When things go wrong I always ask you why

You told me it was okay but why is it so bad

I hate you but I love you all at the same time.

 

Oh, cross necklace how you’ve made me relived

Even when I get mad at you, you are still there for me

You have had my back since the day I got you

But you were right, it is okay in the end.
