“Can’t Shake It”

Intro
Yeah…
I’m trying, I swear
But it still follows me

Verse 1
I’ve been trying my hardest just to breathe again
But the weight in my chest never seems to end
I tell myself I’m stronger than my past
But some nights feel like they’re built to last

I’ve been fighting demons I don’t show
Smiling in public, breaking when I’m alone
They say time heals, but I don’t know
Why the pain still feels like home

Chorus
I’m trying my best, but I don’t know if I can shake it
Every step forward feels like I’m chained to the same shit
I pray for peace, but my mind won’t take it
I’m trying my best… but I don’t know if I can make it

Verse 2
I tell myself I’m fine, yeah, I say it a lot
But deep down I’m scared of the things that I’m not
I’ve been running from thoughts I can’t outrun
Trying to heal, but the damage is done

I don’t want pity, I just want peace
Something real that won’t leave
I’m tired of fighting myself every night
Just wanna feel okay for once in my life

Chorus
I’m trying my best, but I don’t know if I can shake it
These scars on my soul, yeah, they never faded
I reach for the light, but it feels so distant
I’m trying my best… I’m just being honest

Outro
If I fall again, don’t let me fade
I’m still here, even if I’m afraid
I’m trying my best…
I just don’t know if I can shake it
