Shake - Lori McKenna

Don’t leave me is all I hear you say

Somehow that keeps me from all the plans that I made

Your promises sparkle I tell myself not to believe

The things that I want lose out to the one that I need

Time does not waste itself

A dream cannot wake itself

The truth cannot disgrace itself

An unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul

Arms cannot embrace themselves

A heart cannot break itself

And I cannot shake myself from you

We both know there’s only so much a person can take

Only so long you can reach only so long you can carry that weight

So some of us learn how to live with what we know we can’t fix

So we walk tall and we act proud and pretend that its better than it is

Time does not waste itself

A dream cannot wake itself

The truth cannot disgrace itself

An unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul

Arms cannot embrace themselves

A heart cannot break itself

And I cannot shake myself from you

Time does not waste itself

A dream cannot wake itself

The truth cannot disgrace itself

An unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul

Arms cannot embrace themselves

A heart cannot break itself

And I cannot shake myself from you

Don’t leave me is all I hear me say

As you per sway me to throw the rest of my life, away
