Shape of My Heart -- Noah and the Whale

when I look to the shape of my heart, It's separated only by scars
That cut in and cut out  and leave me without  a heart that functions at all.
And when I look to the shape of the sky, I give thanks for this hollow chest of mine;
That I no longer feel The great weight of ordeals That can make this life so unkind

Oh and if there's any love in me, Don't let it show. Oh and if there's any love in me,
Don't let it grow.

Oh when the wild was all covered by snow, I forgot the colours that the grass tend to grow.
Oh the trees were all leafless, And lifeless and black, And I wondered if the leaves could grow back  For your heart is like a flower as it grows, And it's the rain, not just the sun that helps it bloom, And you don't know how it feels to be alive  Until you know how it feels to die

Oh and if there's any love in me, Don't let it show. Oh and if there's any love in me,
Don't let it grow.  and if there's any love in me, Don't let it show.
Oh and if there's any love in me, Don't let it grow.


"Shape of My Heart" is "a celebration song, but it's a celebration of loneliness. So you've got that optimism, but there's an underlying melancholy that I think most people understand. The song is like a party for the uninvited."             (songfacts)
