Life @ 11 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the curtain falls it rolls, unwraps, reminds me
The person that I am
I'm still afraid, ashamed, of what's behind me
But you gave me the strength to stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know)
[Chorus 1]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave
[Verse 2]
Sometimes when no one's left to listen I'll sit and argue with myself
Say all the things I wish to tell you, without hurting someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know)
[Chorus 2]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid they'll walk with me until my end
When the curtain falls it rolls, unwraps, reminds me
The person that I am
I'm still afraid, ashamed, of what's behind me
But you gave me the strength to stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know)
[Chorus 1]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave
[Verse 2]
Sometimes when no one's left to listen I'll sit and argue with myself
Say all the things I wish to tell you, without hurting someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know)
[Chorus 2]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid they'll walk with me until my end
[Bridge]
*Incomprehensible voices*
STOP!
Hey you, when'd ya get so cold? (When'd ya get so cold?)
Hey you, just do what you're told, do what you're told
Hey you, you're gonna be a star
As long as you'll let us we'll make you the person that you aren't
Yeah!
[Chorus 2]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave (I’m a slave) to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid (I’m afraid) they'll walk with me until my end
[Outro]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
*Incomprehensible voices*
STOP!
Hey you, when'd ya get so cold? (When'd ya get so cold?)
Hey you, just do what you're told, do what you're told
Hey you, you're gonna be a star
As long as you'll let us we'll make you the person that you aren't
Yeah!
[Chorus 2]
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said
I'm a slave (I’m a slave) to all these voices in my head
And I'm afraid (I’m afraid) they'll walk with me until my end
[Outro]
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame)
