Karaoké In the Shape of a Heart Jackson Browne

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 too 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 and dropped it into the wall

I let it go and heard it fall

Ah ah ah ah ah

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

Oh oh

You keep it up

You try so hard to keep a life from coming apart

And 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

In the shape of a heart

In the shape of a heart
