"Wear It Like A Flag" lyrics

"Wear It Like A Flag"

Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with the one light on

I'm gonna figure it out later on
I want to see if I shouldn't or should
But I can't seem to follow the reasons
Or love for my own good

But it's my love
And I'll do what I want when I want to with it
It's my love
And I'll wear it like a flag
It's my heart
But I'll break it to pieces
Before it breaks me down

Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with the one light on

I'm gonna figure it out later on
I want to see if I shouldn't or should
But I can't seem to follow the reasons
Or love for my own damn good

But it's my love
And I'll do what I want when I want to with it
It's my love
And I'll wear it like a flag
It's my heart
But I'll break it to pieces
Before it breaks me down

I have a dream like you'd be there
When I leave out my fantasy
I'll keep my secret my wall of steel
[?]

Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with the one light on

I'm gonna figure it out later on
I want to see if I shouldn't or should
But I can't seem to follow the reasons
Or love for my own damn good

But it's my love
And I'll do what I want when I want to with it
It's my love
And I'll wear it like a flag
It's my heart
But I'll break it to pieces
Before it breaks me down

It's my love
It's my heart
It's my heart
But I'll break it to pieces
Before it breaks me down

It's my love
It's my heart (Somebody sound an alarm)
It's my love (Who put the smile on my face)
Before it breaks me down

It's my love
It's my heart
