Story Behind The Song

Lies from a heart shaped glass is a metaphor how we sometimes ignore red flags in relationships when we are in love. We accept lies and exuses that should be red flags, but because we are in love we ignore them. Then we realize it after we were hurt and feel foolish.

Song Description

I co-wrote the song with Lisa Gates and ken Rawe. I wrote the lyrics, Ken performed and did the melody, Lisa helped come up with the melody. I wanted to say the same thing we hear in break up songs, but in a very different way.

Lyrics

Heart Shaped Glass -Version 1
( Amy Abernathy 2014)

(Intro)
A Glass full of lies,
A Glass full of alibis.


There you were a good looking stranger.
You walked in, my heart was in danger.
I never guessed that your words were untrue.
Through a heart shaped glass I believed you.

(Chorus)

Lies from a heart shaped glass,
Go down smooth if you drink them fast.
Oh yeah, Lies from a heart shaped glass,
They go down smooth if you drink them Fast.

Hoping that I found the real thing,
Your charms put my heart on a string.
I fell too fast and could not see,
Your cheating heart was lying to me.

( Chorus)

Lies from a heart shaped glass,
Go down smooth if you drink them fast.
Oh yeah, Lies from a heart shaped glass,
They go down smooth if you drink them Fast.

(Bridge)

Oh yeah a heart shaped glass,
Boy, did I drink it fast.
Just couldn't see it Couldn't last.
Like the wine,
In my heart Shaped Glass.

(Chorus)

Lies from a heart shaped glass,
Go down smooth if you drink them fast.
Oh yeah, Lies from a heart shaped glass,
They go down smooth if you drink them Fast.


(Outro)
Oh, Oh, Lies from a heart shaped glass,
They go down smooth,
They go down smooth,
If you drink them, if you drink them,
Fast.
