Heart On My Sleeve Lyrics
She will never be invincible
She will never be some Florence Nightingale
Her threshold's invisible
But she'll hang on like hell
Chorus: She may be transparent
She's got no defenses to speak of
But she'll stand here before you
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That she'll land on her own two feet
And you'll think you can break her
'Cause you think that she's crazy and weak
But her power will defy you when
She wears her heart on her sleeve
She will never learn your tranquillity
She will never learn how to let things slide
Her joy overwhelms her and
Her sorrow won't subside
Chorus
Oh you may condemn me with
Your bitter words and untouchable rage
And you may torment me 'cause i don't
Lead my life in your way
But I will stand here before you
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That I will land on my own two feet
You'll think you can break me
Bring my head down to my knees
But my power will defy you when
I wear my heart on my sleeve
She will never be some Florence Nightingale
Her threshold's invisible
But she'll hang on like hell
She's got no defenses to speak of
But she'll stand here before you
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That she'll land on her own two feet
And you'll think you can break her
'Cause you think that she's crazy and weak
But her power will defy you when
She wears her heart on her sleeve
She will never learn how to let things slide
Her joy overwhelms her and
Her sorrow won't subside
Your bitter words and untouchable rage
And you may torment me 'cause i don't
Lead my life in your way
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That I will land on my own two feet
You'll think you can break me
Bring my head down to my knees
But my power will defy you when
I wear my heart on my sleeve

I love this song. I think its about the inner strength of weakness.
I like this song a lot. It makes me feel better when I've had a fight with someone, reminding me that you shouldn't insult people to get back at them for being nasty to you but ou shouldn't let them bully you into keep your feelings hidden. Stand Up for yourself, but don't hurt others - I think that's a good message.
This song is truly moving it really shows you how to use the strangth within just beautiful
This is such a powerful song; I basically call it my "fuck you" song because it really is saying that to the world who is trying to judge me and put me down for the person I am. But this song is about how you should stick to who you are, and let people say what the hell they want to, because in the end, it'll all be okay, and it'l work out for the best. It's such a hopeful song, and definitely one of my favorites.
I love this song. To me, it's saying that it's never a sign of weakness to be honest with people about how you feel and what's in your heart. When you show emotions and vulnerability, it makes you more powerful and influencial.
