One of these days it's gonna happen to you
Missing your life while my dreams come true
Remember you said not to believe in you?
Remember you said not to believe in you?
I hope you're real again, can you be true?
I saw you're feeling good, you wanted me to
I saw your eyes in mine, I felt them dig into my insides
You offer this life I'd like to live
But there's been a decision made
And things that keep me in place
Now I shake no more, I shake no more
There's been a decision made
And things that keep me in place
Now I shake no more, I shake no more
Want you to peel away more than my clothes
Take away everything, leave only the memories I can hold
When I was strong and true and inside me was only you
And I shook so hard, I shook so hard
My name was open wide to take whatever I could from life
And I shook so hard, I shook so hard
Well it'd be eternally
Asking every love I have
How they can say they love me
If I am so bad
Gone is the contender
I don't need no space
To me it isn't everything to just be okay
When I was strong and true and inside was only you
And I shook so hard, I shook so hard
My name was open wide to take whatever I could from life
And I shook so hard, I shook so hard
My name was open wide to take whatever I could from life
And I shook so hard, I shook so hard
One of these days it's gonna happen to you
Missing your life while my dreams come true
Remember you said not to believe in you?
Remember you said not to believe in you?
One of these days it's gonna happen to you
Missing your life while my dreams come true
Remember you said not to believe in you?
Remember you said not to believe in you?
