Shape - Downstream

Shape Lyrics

I live my life in chains, got my hands in chains
I can't stick with the cards I got with a deal like this
I must insist that a girl's got more to do
Than be the way you think a woman should
I've taken it into my own hands
In this man's land
I can understand why I'm taking command
Had enough of stuff and now it's time to think about me
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

I've always played it safe, nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I made, I paid it back and more
I turn the cards and let them fall to me
'Cuz I don't need to play on
With the hand that they have given me
I give it back
'Cuz it's not the way it has to be
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
My heart
That's not the shape of my heart
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
Shape of my heart
