I wear my heart on my sleeve I guess Easily dirtied sometimes It’s not hard to see when something affects me The steps drag a little more My gaze turns slightly downward I might lose my place Or forget where I’m walking I can try to hide, try to cover it It’s never worked To my knowledge It’s good I guess To retain such close ties to your emotions But at the same time I’m so easily hurt I wish I could do otherwise Compartmentalize But I could never hide from who I am

Heart on My Sleeve
I wear my heart on my sleeve I guess Easily dirtied sometimes It’s not hard to see when something affects me The steps drag a little more My gaze turns slightly downward I might lose my place Or forget where I’m walking I can try to hide, try to cover it It’s never worked To my knowledge It’s good I guess To retain such close ties to your emotions But at the same time I’m so easily hurt I wish I could do otherwise Compartmentalize But I could never hide from who I am
