"Shape of my heart" is a song by English artist Sting from his album Ten Summoner's Tales, released in 1993. The song was co-written by guitarist Dominic Miller. Sting explained that through "Shape of My Heart", he wanted to tell the story of a "card player, a gambler who gambles not to win but to try to figure out something; to figure out some kind of mystical logic in luck, or chance; some kind of scientific, almost religious law." The song was used for the end credits of the film Léon with Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.
