The Striped Blur

[Verse 1] But a blur to me, Where have you been? Was it quite the journey? What have you seen? Your heart on your sleeve, Like a decree, Apart and in pieces, But It still beats. Your mascara ran, Only for a while, A trail of tears, Down to your pretty smile. How was your day? I ask in my mind, "It's only a day", You say with your eyes. [Chorus] But a blur to me, Where have you been? Was it quite the journey? What have you seen? Your heart on your sleeve, And It still bleeds, Apart and in pieces, But It still beats. [Verse 2] To walk in your shoes, If just for a mile, What I would do, I couldn't reconcile. You wear the scars, That you've been scratching, Like a piece of art, Never detaching. Like a badge of honor, They gleam in the light, A pledge to exonar, A tiger and her stripes. [Chorus] But a blur to me, Where have you been? Was it quite the journey? What have you seen? Your heart on your sleeve, And It still bleeds, Apart and in pieces, But It still beats. [Bridge] Even in hindsight, I can't see you clearly, Did you win the good fight? Blood, sweat, and tears, I see, A storm you've survived, Even if barely. To part with your stripes, Something to hold so dearly, Would mean to lose your story, Would be to lose the glory. [Chorus] But a blur to me, Where have you been? Was it quite the journey? What have you seen? Your heart on your sleeve, And It still bleeds, Apart and in pieces, But It still beats.
