Shake it off pick yourself up, they say Your life fell apart in your hands You've got the scars to prove it It's not the first time and they're getting deeper Pull it together, button up your shirt Roll down those sleeves Don't let them see how you've coped It's not the first time and they're getting deeper More and more Your demeanor looks like quicksand More and more Your demeanor looks like quicksand It seems like you're giving up Giving up on everything you worked for It seems like you're giving up Giving up on everything you worked for It's pulling you under It's gripping around your throat It's pulling you under It's gripping around your throat It seems like you're giving up on everything It seems like you're giving up on everything It's pulling you under Life's pulling you under Life can be overwhelming But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch You've ever had, you've ever had They have always been there to brace your fall Wave goodbye to the past You've got your whole life to lead Wave goodbye to the past You've got your whole life to lead Wave goodbye to the past You've got your whole life to lead Wave goodbye to the past You've got your whole life to lead You've got your whole life to lead You've got your whole life to lead It's time to gain some ground
