Sleeves

These roses ain't random, and that name ain't some ex

My little sister went to Heaven, it's how I tell her she's missed

And when my grandpa got sick, and they sold away the farm

I got his old A-shaker truck tattooed on my arm

It's my life, things I love, it's the people I've lost

It's the lessons that I've learned that ain't never comin' off

No matter what you think, this ink is more than skin deep

It's why it's there, why I wear my heart on my sleeves

Like a prayer, why I wear my heart on my sleeves, yeah

I got sued by my friend like a knife in the back

I got a shark tattoo, 'cause some folks turn into that

I got the name of my old rock band right under a nurse

And every time I'm feelin' lonely, that medicine still works

It's my life, things I love, it's the people I've lost

It's the lessons that I've learned that ain't never comin' off

No matter what you think, this ink is more than skin deep

That's why it's there, why I wear my heart on my sleeves

Like a prayer, why I wear my heart on my sleeves, yeah

But I still got some time, and I still got some skin

Just got my heart broke, so I'll be addin' one in

This is my life, things I love, it's the people I've lost

It's the lessons that I've learned that ain't never comin' off

No matter what you think, this ink is more than skin deep

It's why it's there, why I wear my heart on my sleeves

Like a prayer, why I wear my heart on my sleeves, yeah

Oh, my heart on my sleeves, yeah

My heart on my sleeves
