about

She saw me in a gallery
Of paintings and old tapestries
By artists who left their mark - the beauty in the world.
But my eyes were on the ground.
I thought for sure that she'd be bound
To see the ugliness up front.
I can't hide it with a brush.

Because I look so ugly with my heart on my sleeve.
It's painted with sickness and depression interweaved.
I look so ugly with my heart on my sleeve.
And it hurts so much. Nail polish won't cover it up.

By happenstance our eyes were drawn
To the lily pads and blue carnations
Floating in a pond.
Like I was hung up on the wall
Her eyes began to turn and fall
But right away she walked away, and then she gasped,
"That poor boy don't stand a chance."

Because I look so ugly with my heart on my sleeve.
It's painted with sickness and depression interweaved.
I look so ugly with my heart on my sleeve.
And it hurts so much. Nail polish won't cover it up.
