lyrics

I can’t shake
The weight on my shoulders I can’t seem to take
But I won’t wait
For the day that it leaves, because I’ll never break

I can’t shake
The weight on my shoulders I can’t seem to take
But I won’t wait
For the day that it leaves, because I’ll never break

Life’s got me too stressed, feeling down and blue
I just wanna unwind, and catch a vibe for a few
Reach, lately I’ve been having too much to do
So I’ve been losing my mind, and to tell you the truth
It’s been a real hard time with what I’m going through
Tryna tell myself that it’ll all be over soon
That it’ll all be fine, but if they only knew
About the selfish beast I’m bouta turn into

But all in all, it’s still me at the end of the day
Even if I disappear, I’m never going away
Yeah, the music is the only way I deal with the pain
And if it does, I would wash away with the rain
It couldn’t be me, doing this just for fame
Nah, the reason lies far down beneath the name
Yeah, it’s pretty much the only thing that keeps me sane
And my peace is the only thing I care to gain

I’ve just been pushing for change
Even though things are different, I’m still the same
Looking for a new way to get my thoughts arranged
Just to rise up, and put my former self to shame
But I ain’t stopping til I reach the end of the game
So if I fall, then I only have myself to blame
But I’m focused on my energy, I can’t be tamed

I can’t shake
The weight on my shoulders I can’t seem to take
But I won’t wait
For the day that it leaves, because I’ll never break

I can’t shake
The weight on my shoulders I can’t seem to take
But I won’t wait
For the day that it leaves, because I’ll never break
