I bleed just the way you do Words just do not leave a mark That you can see But words can scar You don't need to see the bruise But, damage has been done Although it's hidden It hurts to hide it just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve I used to hide my deepest pain Not physically inflicted Then I learned that words hurt more I was one of the afflicted sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me unless you know the words to use And then choose to desert me just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve Bullies come in many forms They live just to deceive I used to hide away from them Now, my heart is on my sleeve I have a heart and it will break But, it will always go on beating For now, I always venture forth No more am I retreating just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve

I wear my heart upon my sleeve
I bleed just the way you do Words just do not leave a mark That you can see But words can scar You don't need to see the bruise But, damage has been done Although it's hidden It hurts to hide it just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve I used to hide my deepest pain Not physically inflicted Then I learned that words hurt more I was one of the afflicted sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me unless you know the words to use And then choose to desert me just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve Bullies come in many forms They live just to deceive I used to hide away from them Now, my heart is on my sleeve I have a heart and it will break But, it will always go on beating For now, I always venture forth No more am I retreating just like you, when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve just like you when cut I bleed I wear my heart upon my sleeve
