Lyrics

Shaking

[Verse 1]

Running down the road, breath is misty cold

Everything I touch leaves blood on the stone

The hounds are on my trail, I see the cross and nails

Everything is felt deep in my bones

[Pre-Chorus]

But I tried, oh, I tried, how I tried

Every time I got close, I could never get inside

So I wait, oh, I wait, every night and day, I wait

But my fear is closing in and the ground has started

[Chorus]

Shaking

All my dreams have started breaking

Hold me, honey, I'm still aching

I'm sorry, but I, I'm sorry, but I can't stop

I'm sorry, I just can't stop shaking, ha

[Verse 2]

I can't get away, every door I take

Leads me back into the maze

A laughter or a scream, everything's extreme

Come on, look at me, how much more can I take?

[Pre-Chorus]

But I tried, oh, I tried, how I tried

Every time I got close, I could never get inside

So I wait, oh, I wait, every night and day, I wait

But my fear is closing in and the ground has started

[Chorus]

Shaking

All my dreams have started breaking

Hold me, honey, I'm still aching

I'm sorry, but I, I'm sorry, but I can't stop

I'm sorry, I just can't stop shaking, ha

I just can't stop shaking

[Bridge]

Look me in the eyes, tell me you still believe

I can make it through the night, I just have to breathe

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Oh, I just can't stop

[Chorus]

Shaking

All my dreams have started breaking

Hold me, honey, I'm still aching

I'm sorry, but I, I'm sorry, but I can't stop

I'm sorry, I just can't stop shaking

All my dreams have started breaking

Hold me, honey, I'm still aching

I'm sorry, but I, I'm sorry, but I can't stop

I'm sorry, I just can't stop shaking, ha

I just can't stop shaking
