In the Shape of a Heart by Tracy Grammer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living without
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
There's 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 too many to repair
In the time that we were there
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
You keep it up
You try so hard
To keep your life from coming apart
You 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
[Verse 3]
It was a 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
And dropped it into the wall
I let it go and heard it fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living without
[Chorus]
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 a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgiving
[Post-Chorus]
You keep it up
You try so hard
To keep your life from coming apart
You never know
The shallows and the unseen reefs
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
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living without
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
There's a hole left in the wall

And there were other holes as well

[Post-Chorus]
You keep it up
You try so hard
To keep your life from coming apart

What breaches and faults are concealed
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
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
