In the Shape of a Heart

歌詞

< ♪ > It was a ruby that she wore On a chain around her neck In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was a time I won't forget For the sorrow and regret And the shape of a heart And the shape of a heart < ♪ > I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People 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 love There was a hole left in the wall From some ancient fight About the size of a fist Or something thrown that had missed And there were other holes as well In the house where our nights fell Far to many to repair In the time that we were there People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Reach out to each other through the push and shove Speak in terms of a life and the learning Try to think of a word for the burning < ♪ > You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And 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 heart < ♪ > It was the ruby that she wore On a stand beside the bed In the hour before dawn When I knew she was gone And I held it in my hand For a little while Dropped it into the wall I let it go and heard it fall I.....

You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know The shallows and the unseen reef That are there from the start In 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
