You wonder why they stare
It's the gruesome thing you wear
It's the part of me you took
And now it's part of your look
It's an awful thing that you and I have done
I pinned it like a flower, not knowing you would run
But it's too late to change things now

My heart, my heart is pinned to your sleeve
Whatever you wish or believe
All the boys you're meeting, they can hear it beating
My heart, my heart is pinned to your sleeve
It's a thing I can never retrieve
I can still see the seams where I stitched up my dreams

Now all my passion is so much fashion
You will wear it out tonight
It will shine its secret light
All that heartache, is that all it makes?
A tattered ribbon on your arm
A badge of broken beauty
Take it, please

My heart is pinned to your sleeve
