'Don’t leave me' is all I hear you say
Somehow it keeps me from all the plans I made
Your promises sparkle, I tell myself not to believe
Things that I won't lose out to the one that I need

Time does not waste itself
A dream cannot wake itself
The truth cannot disgrace itself
Unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul
Arms cannot embrace themselves
A heart cannot break itself
I cannot shake myself from you

There’s only so much a person can take
Only so far you can reach, so long you can carry that weight
Some of us learn how to live with what we know we can’t fix
Walk tall, act proud, pretend that it’s better than it is

Time does not waste itself
A dream cannot wake itself
The truth cannot disgrace itself
Unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul
Arms cannot embrace themselves
A heart cannot break itself
I cannot shake myself from you
