Lyrics
I've smeared my heart on my sleeve
I've openly displayed my emotions.
I've tagged my name on the wall
I've left my mark on a surface.
It's probably time for me to leave
It's likely time for me to move on.
Actin' big and talkin' small
Projecting confidence while speaking modestly.
I've tracked blood in on the floor
I've brought conflict or pain into a space.
I put my first through the wall
I've expressed frustration physically.
I've dragged trouble through the door
I've introduced problems into my life.
And I've spilled wine on it all
I've added chaos to the situation, including with alcohol.
Maybe I can paint over that
Considering covering up my mistakes.
It'll probably bleed through
Acknowledging that the past may resurface.
Maybe I can paint over that
Exploring the idea of hiding my faults.
But I can't hide it from you
Realizing it's impossible to conceal them from someone close.
I've got some ink beneath my skin
Referring to past decisions permanently marked on the skin.
A good idea at the time
An action that seemed good initially but is now regretted.
I won't be doing that again
Committing to avoiding a similar mistake.
Not with any arm of mine
A vow not to harm oneself intentionally.
And I have stumbled in my time
Admitting past errors or missteps.
I left my footprints down the road
Leaving a mark or impact on the journey of life.
And the part of me that shines
The positive aspects of me are not always visible.
Ain't the part of me that's showed
The true essence of me may not be apparent.
Maybe I can paint over that
Considering covering up past actions or mistakes.
It'll probably bleed through
Acknowledging the difficulty of hiding the truth.
Maybe I can paint over that
Exploring the possibility of concealing past faults.
But I can't hide it from you
Realizing the impossibility of hiding them from someone close.
Maybe I can paint over that
Reiterating the idea of covering up past mistakes.
It'll probably bleed through
Recognizing that the past may resurface despite efforts.
Maybe I can paint over that
Exploring the idea of hiding faults once again.
But I can't hide it from you
Accepting the impossibility of hiding them from someone close.
