When the curtains fall,
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!
Sha-sha-shake it off,
Go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame, (bottle the shame).
Just, sha-sha-shake it off,
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 ones left to listen,
I'll sit and argue with myself.
Say all the things I wish to tell you,
Without hurting someone else.
Sha-sha-shake it off, go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the same, (bottle the shame).
Just sha-sha-shake it off, no one will ever know, (wont 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 the end.
Stop!
Hey, you, when'd ya get so cold? (when'd you 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 you aren't.
I'm a slave to all the 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.
Sha-sha-sha-shake it off,
Go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame.)
