Shake

'Don’t leave me' is all I hear you say Somehow it keeps me from all the plans I made Your promises sparkle, I tell myself not to believe Things that I won't lose out to the one that I need Time does not waste itself A dream cannot wake itself The truth cannot disgrace itself Unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul Arms cannot embrace themselves A heart cannot break itself I cannot shake myself from you There’s only so much a person can take Only so far you can reach, so long you can carry that weight Some of us learn how to live with what we know we can’t fix Walk tall, act proud, pretend that it’s better than it is Time does not waste itself A dream cannot wake itself The truth cannot disgrace itself Unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul Arms cannot embrace themselves A heart cannot break itself I cannot shake myself from you
