"Heart On My Sleeve" lyrics

"Heart On My Sleeve"

If I were an actor on the silver screen
And all the pressures got me down
I wonder would you stay around
Once in a while

And if I were a singer in a rock and roll band
That never quite got off the ground
I wonder would you be around
Once in a while

Help me down this lonely road won't ya
Help me carry this load to ya
I did try once but I wanna try twice
Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve
And my jacket got torn
And I just don't think that I can wear it

And if I were a failure
Would you walk away?
Or would you stay here by my side?
Give me back my sense of pride
All over again, do it again

Help me down this lonely road won't ya
Help me carry this load to ya
I did try once but I wanna try twice
Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve
And my jacket got torn
And I just don't think that I can wear it again

Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve
And my jacket got torn
And I just don't think that I can wear it again
