[Part I]


[Intro]

You never thought that you'd fall in love

And it's too late, and you're holding me close

I don't think I could ever let you go

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

The heart's connections, they hold us in place

Your voice always stopped me from fading away

I'm content with losing just this time

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh


[Verse]

'Cause my skin's so bruised and I'm holding on for dear life (Oh, oh, oh)

If I was always meant to let go, then why do you shine so bright?

And my body's broken, but it longs to touch you

Those wounds in my skull were never too much to

The thought of you is enough to throw it all aside, oh, oh, oh, oh

I can't keep waiting as time passes by

I keep on believing your heart's close to mine

Life's speeding up and the leaves fall in time

But your heart is beating slowly, baby

I can't pretend that I'm not terrified

Of falling and losing, so I cling so tight

To the string right between us, across a whole flight

And my heart keeps pulling you closer, baby


[Refrain]

Da da-da da-da da, da-da da

Da da-da da da, da-da da-da da

Da da-da da-da da-da da

Heart on my sleeve for you

Da da-da da-da da, da-da da

Da da-da da da, da-da da-da da

Da da-da da-da da-da da

Heart on my sleeve for you


[Part II]


[Chorus]

I'll wear my heart right out on my sleeve

I can't pretend that I don't wanna leave

My heart's been waiting to love her for so long

(To love her for so long)

And I know you're aching for me to succeed

And I'm just begging for you to believe

The stars and the planets could never hold my weight (Ah! My weight)


[Interlude]

(You are having a heart attack)


[Drop]

(How could you be so cruel? I never figured it out)

The stars and the planets could never hold my weight


[Chorus]

I'll wear my heart right out on my sleeve

I can't pretend that I don't wanna leave

My heart's been waiting to love her for so long

(To love her for so long)

And I know you're aching for me to succeed

And I'm just begging for you to believe

The stars and the planets could never hold my weight (Ah! My weight)


[Part III]


[Verse]

You never thought that you'd fall in love

And it's too late, and you're holding a grudge

I never wanted to hurt you, but I did

And you were praying for me to give up

And I just wanted it all to stop

I'll wear my heart like a bracelet on my wrist


[Outro]

I love you
