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