Analysis of Shakes
Lyin in my empty bed
thinkin how this could be foolin me
I'd like to be livin up
steada lyin here in my bed
Tryin to hide from rest again tonight
it used to be so cool
But now I got theses feelins
that I can't shake
I try to breath and take it away
but I want more and more
One of these days I'll lose the war
