kenyon cruz - heart on display lyrics

[intro]
i don’t wanna put my heart on display
i don’t wanna put my heart on display

[verse 1
my friends, they tell me i should publish songs
give people what they want
go make a couple bucks
i act like i’d rather run a marathon
than show them what i got
there goes another month
’cause i’m the bitterest of critics
when i’m looking at myself
keep songs hidden like it’s sinning
pulling them down off the shelf
but my family swears some of my songs would sell
but just like everyone else, i just overthink it ’til

[pre+chorus]
i sеt it down, leave it behind
‘causе i don’t want the world to read my mind

[chorus]
no, i don’t wanna put my heart on display for the world
don’t wanna show the parts of my pain and my hurt
don’t wanna show the tunes that betray all my worth
i don’t wanna put, i don’t wanna put
no, i don’t wanna play the songs with my pain in the words
don’t wanna show the flaws through an eight bar verse
i’m fighting tooth and claw against my fragile worth
because i don’t wanna put
i don’t wanna put my heart on display
[verse 2]
yeah, i’ve written well over a hundred songs
talking about my flaws
and i should cut it off, yeah
i’ve written well over a hundred tunes
singing the same old blues
i should find something new
pick up my pen, begin a vent
going in circles in my head
jot something down, scribble it out
just like a turtle in its sh+ll
i hide away my pride and pain
is it relatable or lame
am i incapable of change?

[pre+chorus]
i’ve had this problem
for way too long now
drowned in my self+doubt
why can’t i just put one song out?

[chorus]
no, i don’t wanna put my heart on display for the world
don’t wanna show the parts of my pain and my hurt
don’t wanna show the tunes that betray all my worth
i don’t wanna put, i don’t wanna put
no, i don’t wanna play the songs with my pain in the words
don’t wanna show the flaws through an eight bar verse
i’m fighting tooth and claw against my fragile worth
because i don’t wanna put
i don’t wanna put my heart on display
yeah, oh
[bridge]
when did i take all of my pain
and put them into songs
how did music become a way
to cope with what went wrong?
i keep on writing and writing
looking for some silver lining
maybe i’m wasting my time and
n0body relates to my whining
i don’t wanna be a joke, i hope you know
these songs i wrote shouldn’t make you think
maybe you need to be asking me if i need help
you get to have a peek inside
i’m like everyone else
i wrote these songs, showcase my mind
like it is show and tell

[chorus]
no, i don’t wanna put my heart on display for the world
don’t wanna show the parts of my pain and my hurt
don’t wanna show the tunes that betray all my worth
i don’t wanna put, i don’t wanna put
no, i don’t wanna play the songs with my pain in the words
don’t wanna show the flaws through an eight bar verse
i’m fighting tooth and claw against my fragile worth
because i don’t wanna put
i don’t wanna put my heart on display
i don’t wanna put my heart on display for the world
don’t wanna show the parts of my pain and my hurt
don’t wanna show the tunes that betray all my worth
no, i don’t wanna put, i don’t wanna put
i don’t wanna play the songs with my pain in the words
don’t wanna show the flaws through an eight bar verse
i’m fighting tooth and claw against my fragile worth
because i don’t wanna put
i don’t wanna put my heart on display
