Lyrics
V1
You?re looking at the lonely little girl
Who thought that love was the only thing that mattered in this world
Now I?m exposed, Fear undisguised,
Living with my heart on the outside.
V2
Don?t mean to sound so frightened and alone
But I never thought I?d open the door and find you were not home Now I?m exposed, Fear undisguised,
Living with my heart on the outside.
Chorus
I?m not to be forgotten like this
My fate was sealed with your kiss.
V3
Were you thinking that our love would never change?
Did all my idiosyncrasies finally seem strange?
Now I?m exposed, Fear undisguised,
Living with my heart on the outside.
V4
Did you have to do this to me cuz I cared?
Were you thinking love?s worth nothing if it?s shared?
Now I?m exposed, Fear undisguised,
Living with my heart on the outside.
Chorus
Bridge
My heart?s outside on my sleeve
Because I?m so surprised you had the will?to leave
V5
I guess it?s best to let my memories wane
Your leaving is just something that can?t be explained
I?m exposed? exposed? exposed?
Chorus
I?m not to be forgotten like this
I?m left here holding your kiss.
