[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
