On The Sleeve

Some say they wear their heart on their sleeve,
And though I wouldn't say I do,
I do wear something around my wrist
That leaves me feeling blue.

Hope is an amazing feeling.
It keeps you going on,
But sometimes what you believe makes you hope,
And it just turns out all wrong.

A look, a glance, maybe a smile,
Would give me some sort of hope...
That maybe it would happen someday!
Now I just feel like a joke.

The hope on my sleeve has deceived me...
It made me think all wrong.
So now I know him and I will never be,
And all that hope is gone.
