wearing your heart on your sleeve

wearing your heart on your sleeve:
you let people know who you are and in you they can believe:

it causesyou much shame hurt and pain:
when you get taken for granted and advantage of again the same:

your heart intentioms are never for your owm self wealth and gain:
thats why when you get stepped on again it causes you much pain:

when you wear your heart on your sleeve you show others they can complately trust in you -confide and believe:
it hurts you greatly when ya get decieved:

over your lifetime this has happened time and time again:
when will it stop --when:

if your heart you keep it within you hidden deep:
all your heart intentions are safe and protected for you to keep:

the only way another will trust you with there pain:
you have to get out there with them in the cold and rain:

it is easy to keep all your heart feelings hidden and safe--to yourself deep  within:
but then you let nobody in and only you win:

for every person you reach and touch and help--with your heart intentions that are true:
another person will put you down and make you feel so blue:

it would be so so easy to just shut down and protect your heart and hide it deep inside:
but like my mother i will decide to always wear my heart on my sleeve so in me others they can trust me and confide:
