Shake it off Pick yourself up, they say Your life fell apart in your hands, and 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 (x2) It seems like you're giving up Giving up on everything, you worked for (x2) It's pulling you under. It's gripping around your throat (x2) It seems like you're giving up It seems like you're giving up on everything It's pulling you under It's pulling you under Life can be overwhelming But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch you've ever 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 (x4) You've got you whole life to lead (x2) It's time to gain some ground
