Of Sinners + Saints - Heart on my Sleeve

Let's begin to figure out how this will end
Before the beginning can send my heart on a journey to mend
Let me think, but maybe this time without a drink
To cloud up the memories that sink my faltering life to the brink
I wish I could hear my younger voice
I wish I could shake the shame that comes with the blame
When I ain't got much choice
I wish I could wake myself from this nightmare feeling that I'm falling through
The heart on my sleeve is black and blue
Let the rain wash away memories of pain
Of the lingering thoughts that remain of a journey too hard to explain
We're born out of a union of sinners and saints
For better or worse in the landscape it paints
These ghosts of the past can leave you lonely and lost
Redemption's not free, it always comes with a cost
I wish I could hear my younger voice
I wish I could shake the shame that comes with the blame
When I ain't got much choice
I wish I could wake myself from this nightmare feeling that I'm falling through
The heart on my sleeve is black and blue
I'm calling loudly out in the night
And I'm falling, fading out of the light
And I'm faithful, but my patience is gone
It's like you left me blind without the will to go on
I wish I could hear my younger voice
I wish I could shake the shame that comes with the blame
When I ain't got much choice
I wish I could wake myself from this nightmare feeling that I'm falling through
The heart on my sleeve is black and blue
The heart on my sleeve is black and blue
