Heart Up on My Sleeve
Dolorous Lyrics

Heart up on my sleeve
My emotions are visible to everyone.

I get no relief
I'm constantly feeling distressed and helpless.

Someone walked in
Another person has entered my life.

While you walked right over me
Meanwhile, you completely disregarded my feelings and needs.

Got my heart up on my sleeve
My emotional vulnerability is exposed and exploited.

I get no reprieve
I never get a break from the constant emotional turmoil.

And I can't stand it
I'm at my breaking point; I can't keep tolerating this treatment.

Girl watcha drinking
I'm trying to distract myself from my problems by engaging in small talk.

Tell me without thinking
I want to draw out your true feelings and intentions.

No blinking
I want complete honesty from you.

Uninvolved we can
We can pretend that we don't have any emotional attachments or responsibilities to each other.

Chill for a little
We can hang out and relax for a bit.

Maybe have a crazy weekend
Perhaps we can engage in reckless behavior in an attempt to escape our problems.

Oh yeah we can waste away but we can
We can continue living recklessly and indulging ourselves without regard for consequences.

Lie there
We can stay in bed all day and forget about the rest of the world.

Baby why should I care
I'm feeling emotionally numb, so I don't see the point of caring about anything anymore.

Up all-day
I'm constantly awake and alert, anticipating your needs and desires.

Till you need me like your iPad
I'm always at your disposal, like a device that you can use at any given moment.

I'm always by the phone
I'm always accessible and ready to respond to your messages or calls.

But you like that
You enjoy having control over me and my emotions.

A long ways far from home
I feel lost and alone, even when I'm physically present with you.

But I'm right there
Despite all of this, I'm still sticking around and putting up with everything.

Heart up on my sleeve
My emotions are still exposed and vulnerable.

I get no relief
My emotional distress is ongoing and unending.

Someone walked in
Another person has come into my life, further complicating my emotional state.

While you walked right over me
You continue to ignore my feelings and treat me poorly, making everything worse.

Got my heart up on my sleeve
I'm still emotionally raw and exposed, with no protection or defenses.

I get no reprieve
I can never escape the constant emotional turmoil.

And I can't stand it
I'm at my breaking point and can't keep putting up with this treatment.

While you walk right over me
You continue to trample over my emotions and feelings, and I can't take it anymore.
