[Intro] [Verse 1] I’ve never been good at keeping a secret My face is a billboard for how I am feeling When you told me goodbye at the Waffle House booth I tried to act cool, but to tell you the truth I didn’t just cry, no, I made a whole scene Then I ruined my favorite denim jacket's seams. [Chorus[ 'Cause I wear my heart right here on my sleeve And it’s leaking all over my sleeve, yes indeed It’s a big, messy puddle of feelings and ache And a laundry disaster that I had to make Yeah, I love you too much, and it's gross and it's loud And I’m dripping on everyone else in this crowd. [Verse 2] My mama said, "Honey, just play hard to get" But I bought you a mower on the day that we met I told you my childhood trauma by noon And asked if you’d marry me under the moon Now I’m standing here soaked in my own self-regret With a permanent marker and a broken cassette. [Chorus] 'Cause I wear my heart right here on my sleeve And it’s leaking all over my sleeve, yes indeed It’s a big, messy puddle of feelings and ache And a laundry disaster that I had to make Yeah, I love you too much, and it's gross and it's loud And I’m dripping on everyone else in this crowd. [Instrumental] [Bridge] Other girls are like icebergs, mysterious and chill They keep their emotions locked up in a till But I am a faucet that’s rusted and stripped I’m a neon sign blinking, "I’m getting kicked!" You don't need a map or a compass to see The absolute train wreck inside of me! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 'Cause I wear my heart right here on my sleeve And it’s leaking all over my sleeve, yes indeed It’s a big, messy puddle of feelings and ache And a dry-cleaning bill that I just cannot take Yeah, I love you too much, and it's gross and it's loud And I’m dripping on everyone else in this crowd. [Outro] Yeah, it's right on my sleeve... Next time I’ll wear a tank top. Or maybe a poncho. 'Cause this fabric is ruined. [End]
