In the Shape of a Heart Songtext
von Jackson Browne

In the Shape of a Heart Songtext

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

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
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 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 a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgiving

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

In the shape of a heart
