Can't Shake You Lyrics
I still change the station every time they play that song
Can’t drive past your house, so I take the long way home
Your black leather jacket still hanging in my closet
I wish that I could give it away
Oh, even though you’re gone, somehow you stay
And every other time when love said goodbye
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I didn’t wanna be here, but my friends all love this bar
I don’t wanna see you, but I’m wondering where you are
And why I must keep the shirt you used to sleep in?
It’s been sitting there for over a year
Oh, even though you left me, you’re still here
And every other time when love said goodbye
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you, no matter how hard I try
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you, and I don’t know why
And every other time when love said goodbye
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you, don’t know, no, no
I can’t shake you
Can’t drive past your house, so I take the long way home
Your black leather jacket still hanging in my closet
I wish that I could give it away
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I don’t wanna see you, but I’m wondering where you are
And why I must keep the shirt you used to sleep in?
It’s been sitting there for over a year
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you, and I don’t know why
Just shake it off, shake it off
Pour another drink so I don’t feel a thing
I just shake it off, break it off
Erased all your numbers, blocked all your calls
Tried another love and built up new walls
Told myself it’s over, I don’t know what else I can do
I can’t shake you
I can’t shake you

I absolutely love this song, it hits home for me. It's clearly about a breakup. And whether it happened just the other day or a few years ago, you cannot get him out of your mind. You want to get rid of all of his things, but you can't bring yourself to do it. You've had previous breakups that were easy to get over, but this guy really sticks. You've tried everything to get over him, but at the same time.. you don't want to be over him. Nothing you do will "shake him," and it's really difficult to accept it and move on.
