The Shape I’m In

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I bury all my secrets deep I scream out loud when I'm asleep I smashed the mirror more than twice I have no problems telling lies I drowned a bird when I was eight I have a hard time telling love from hate The list is long, my temper short I don't know what I'm looking for [Chorus] I wanna know the shape I'm in The shape I'm in I wanna know before I'm outta here I'm outta here [Verse 2] I trembled when I heard his voice And still it sounds the loudest noise It shakes mе 'til I can't stand up I tend to drink until I drop And just like him I've roamеd these streets I'm trying hard to tame the beast That's in our blood for a hundred years I swear I'll make it disappear [Chorus] I wanna know the shape I'm in The shape I'm in I want you to know before you're outta here I'm outta here I want you to know, oh, yeah [Verse 3] I found a bird out on the street With broken wings, it would not eat I patched it up and took it home I would not leave that bird alone Now I opened the windows wide Until one day it flew outside And it sang a song I've never known I hope someday I'll sing my own [Outro] I want you to know (The shape I'm in) Shape I'm in (The shape I'm in) Shape I'm in (I wanna know) Oh, outta here, outta here, oh (I wanna know) I wanna know (The shape I'm in) The shape (The shape I'm in) The shape, baby (I want you to know) I wanna know The shape I'm in The shape I'm in, oh
