JO DEE MESSINA - I Wear My Life lyrics

rate me

(Shaye Smith/ChristI Dannemiller/Katrina Elam)

Come close, just look at me, can you see

That new England breeze blowin' through my hair

Stare into my eyes, can't you see the endless sky

Peakin' through the cracks of that abandoned barn

Got my first kiss there

My victories, my broken dreams, you don't have to look too far

Like an old pair of shoes, like a tattoo, sometimes like a scar

Chorus:

I wear my life, right on my sleeve

Who I am ain't no mystery

Where I've been has left a mark on me

No, I'm not one to try and hide

Or keep it all locked up inside

I wear my life

I'm like an old scrapbook, not afraid to let you look

Every day's a brand new page I can't wait to cut and paste

This picture that I see, right now of you and me

Two people so in love even time can't make it fade

My smiling face, gives me away, yeah everybody knows

When you feel something this real, boy, it's bound to show

Repeat chorus

You can see right through me. I'm transparent

I don't just live it

Repeat chorus
