Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
Our love is past, its such a mournful sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
Its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back (Shake him out)
And given half the chance would I take any of it back (Shake it out)
Its a final mess but its left me so empty (Shake it out)
Its always darkest before the dawn (Shake it out)
Oh woah, oh woah...
And Im damned if I do and damned if I dont
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope
Its a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell, Im gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah
