The Shape I’m In

I bury all my secrets deep

I scream out loud when I'm asleep

I smash the mirror more than twice

I have no problem telling lies

I drowned a bird when I was 8

I have a hard time tellin' love from hate

The list is long, my temper's short

I don't know what I'm lookin' for

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

I trembled when I heard his voice

And still it sounds the loudest noise

It shakes me till I can't stand up

I tend to drink until I drop

And just like him, I've roamed these streets

I'm tryin' hard to tame the beast

That's in my blood for a hundred years

I swear I'll make it disappear

I want you to know the shape I'm in, the shape I'm in

I want you to know before you're outta here, you're outta here

I want you to know

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

I opened up the windows wide

Until one day it flew outside

It sang a song I'd never known

I hope someday I'll sing my own

I (Want you to know)

Oh (I wanna know)

Yeah (Want you to know)

I (I wanna know)

I (Want you to know)
