[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
