And the shape of a heart
I guess I never knew
Try to find the word for forgiving
In the shape of a heart
What she was living without
I guess I never knew
For the sorrow and regret
Or something thrown that had missed
Try to think of a word for the burning
What she was talking about
From some ancient fight
People speak of love
In the shape of a heart
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Reach out to each other though the push and shove
There was a hole left in the wall
In the shape of a heart
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
In the shape of a heart
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
When I knew she was gone
Never know the shallows and the unseen reefs
In the house where our nights fell
You keep it up, you try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
About the size of a fist
In the shape of a heart
I guess I never knew
Dropped it into the wall
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
Never know what breaches and faults are concealed
What she was living without
Speak in terms of a life and the living
It was a time I won't forget
In the shape of a heart
Try to fit some name to their longing
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
And I held it in my hand
What she was talking about
That are there from the start
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
In the hour before dawn
I guess I never knew
For a little while
Far too many to repair
It was the ruby that she wore
You keep it up, you try so hard
And let it go, heard it fall
To keep a life from coming apart
On a stand beside the bed
And there were other holes as well
In the time that we were there
And the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
