Lori McKenna - Shake lyrics

(Verse) Don't leave me is all I hear you say Somehow it keeps me from all the plans that I've made Your promises sparkle, I tell myself not to believe The things that I want lose out to the one that I need (Chorus) Time does not waste itself A dream cannot wake itself The truth cannot disgrace itself An unwritten prayer cannot save the lost soul Arms cannot embrace themselves A heart cannot break itself And I cannot shake myself from you (Verse) We both know there's only so much a person can take Only so far you can reach on a 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 all and act proud and pretend that it's better than it is (Chorus) Time does not waste itself A dream cannot wake itself The truth cannot disgrace itself An unwritten prayer cannot save the lost soul Arms cannot embrace themselves A heart cannot break itself And I cannot shake myself from you (Bridge) Don't leave me, it's all I hear myself say As you pursway me to throw the rest of my life away
