Lyrics
[verse]
I've been dealing every card the way I learned it long ago
Never showing what I'm feeling, keeping steady, keeping slow
But underneath the quiet face there's something harder to explain
A story written long before I ever learned your name
[chorus]
This is the shape of my heart, worn but never broken
Every line across it holds a truth that's left unspoken
It's not about the winning, never was about the game
It's about the quiet reasons why I feel the way I feel the same
[verse]
Every choice I make gets measured, every step gets second-guessed
But there's a reason underneath I've never quite confessed
I'm not playing for the applause, I'm not playing for the crown
I'm just trying to understand the way this heart of mine turns 'round
[chorus]
This is the shape of my heart, worn but never broken
Every line across it holds a truth that's left unspoken
It's not about the winning, never was about the game
It's about the quiet reasons why I feel the way I feel the same
[bridge]
Orchestral strings are rising soft behind this quiet ache
Every hand I've played was for a reason, not mistake
If you could read the shape of every scar I hold
You'd understand the story that I've never fully told
[chorus]
This is the shape of my heart, worn but never broken
Every line across it holds a truth that's left unspoken
It's not about the winning, never was about the game
It's about the quiet reasons why I feel the way I feel the same
