Wide awake
And I know why it′s taken me so long
To reclaim my power
The hurting made me strong
I've lost count how many times I have changed
There′s an art to having skin in the game

Been afraid of running out of fucks to give
Lowest place considering where I have been
It's the simple truth that one day I will die
Or the courage it takes for a warrior to cry

It's like the song I was singing
Sitting on my bedroom floor
Or that familiar feeling like I′ve been here before


Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

What I want
Will rarely meet at what I need
Nothin′s wrong
With setting better boundaries
Like the softness you earn when you break your own bread
Or that playful heart that became your first defence

Well, I know yes I know
I sure as shit know I turned some kind of page
And I will, yes I will
Learn to love the side of me that holds all the shame
When I gave myself permission to feel the pain
There's an art to having skin in the game


Well, there is something so sacred
And perfect in placement, uh huh
′Cause I am buzzing in beauty and feasting on honey alright

Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

But, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Wait keep recording

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
