Shaking

Your words are kind and your eyes are sweet
All of my beginnings end in defeat
Meanwhile I know it's time to go home

Your whispering kings I cannot believe
I don't know what you want to achieve
All I know is I must be alone


Chorus
I watch your hands as they keep on shaking
If my heart is safe then why is it breaking?
I need to know who I am forsaking


If you were me would you feel like this?
Would you try to bridge this gap with a kiss?
Or would you walk for miles to try to be with me?

Your hand shakes as you sweeten your drink
My hand shakes so I try not to think
"It's worse to be in love than it is to be free"

Chorus

I'll never know where you came from
But what you think I am, I then become
I'm just a character that lives in your mind

Your prophesies determine my life
So I watch as you play with the knife
Hoping that you'll know how to be kind

Chorus
