See this scar on my right knee I fell off my bike when I was thirteen Or this one here on my face From chicken pox when I was eight But there are more kept hidden away That I've been too afraid to face Like when my grandma passed away It killed us all to watch her fade Oh they ache and they bleed Over time they slowly start to fade Oh they bruise and they weep But they never really seem to go away I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve I'm gonna let the whole world see Just what being human really means So I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve Ah When my first love broke my heart I took it out on my guitar And all the times I've been told no Another scratch upon my soul But of them all this hurts the most I was pushed away by someone close I would like to speak again Cause we all have scars that we're trying to mend Oh they ache and they bleed Over time they slowly start to fade Oh they bruise and they weep But they never really seem to go away I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve I'm gonna let the whole world see Just what being human really means So I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve Ah I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve Oh they ache and they bleed Over time they slowly start to fade Oh they bruise and they weep But they never really seem to go away I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve I'm gonna let the whole world see Just what being human really means So I'm gonna wear my scars on my sleeve Ah
