(“Heart on My Sleeve (And I Like It There)”) (Verse 1) I feel everything too deeply, But I’m learning that it’s fine. Every tear that slips beside me Has a little bit of shine. I’m a quiet kind of open, I’m a soft and trembling flame — But I’d rather feel too strongly Than feel nothing all the same. (Pre‑Chorus) And when a story breaks me open, I don’t try to hide the ache — There’s a beauty in the hurting, In the way my heart can break. (Chorus) I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I like it there. Every feeling that I carry Is a truth I choose to share. Yeah, I cry when something moves me, And I smile through the pain — I’m a tender little storm cloud Learning how to love the rain. I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I like it there. (Verse 2) I’m a thousand contradictions, But they all belong to me. I’m the softness and the courage, I’m the storm and I’m the sea. I’m the laughter in the chaos, I’m the quiet in the night — I’m the person who keeps trying Even when I lose the fight. (Pre‑Chorus) And when a moment hits too deeply, I don’t push the tears away — There’s a sweetness in the breaking That reminds me I’m okay. (Chorus) I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I like it there. Every feeling that I carry Is a truth I choose to share. Yeah, I cry when something moves me, And I smile through the pain — I’m a tender little storm cloud Learning how to love the rain. I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I like it there. (Bridge) Let the world keep spinning faster, Let the stories make me cry — Let the moments crack me open Till the light comes pouring by. I’m not fragile, I’m just honest, I’m not weak, I’m just alive — And my heart stays on my sleeve ’Cause that’s how I survive. (Final Chorus) I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I’m proud it shows. Every tear that falls is proof Of every part of me that grows. Yeah, I break and I get brighter, I fall down and still I rise — I’m a soft and shining wonder With the truth behind my eyes. I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I like it there.
