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
