In the Shape of a Heart Lyrics


It was a ruby that she wore
On a chain around her neck
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heartIt was a time I won't forget
For the sorrow and regret
And the shape of a heart
And the shape of a heartI guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living withoutPeople speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
Try to fit some name to their longing
People speak of loveThere was a hole left in the wall
From some ancient fight
About the size of a fist
Or something thrown that had missedAnd there were other holes as well
In the house where our nights fell

Far too many to repair
In the time that we were therePeople speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Reach out to each other though the push and shove
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
Try to think of a word for the burningYou keep it up, you try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
Never know what breaches and faults are concealed
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heartIt was the ruby that she wore
On a stand beside the bed
In the hour before dawn
When I knew she was goneAnd I held it in my hand
For a little while
Dropped it into the wall
And let it go, heard it fallI guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living withoutPeople speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgivingYou keep it up, you try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
Never know the shallows and the unseen reefs
That are there from the start
In the shape of a heartIn the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
