These roses ain't random And that name ain't some ex My little sister went to heaven Its 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 Its 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 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 feeling lonely That medicine still works It's my life, things I love Its 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 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 But I still got some time And I still got some skin Just got my heart broke So I'll be adding one in This is my life, things I love Its 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 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 Oh my heart on my sleeves My heart on my sleeves
