Shimmy Shake and Walk Away Now by Melodie Yvonne

Watch me walk away now
And watch me shimmy shake
I’m done bendin’ to you
I’ve bent so far I’m gonna break

Watch me walk away now
Watch my heart I break
I might be scared to face you
But I’m not scared to face mistakes

Watch me walk away now
I’m not afraid to break
‘Cause walkin’ away is better
Than this constant pulsing ache

Watch me walk away now
Watch me shimmy shake
I’m no more tethered to you
Than I’m tethered to a snake

Watch me walk away now
And watch me shimmy shake
I’m finally done with you now
And I’m finally awake

Watch me walk away now
Watch me shimmy shake
