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.

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).

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.

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.
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).

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.

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.

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.

Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I´ll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
