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 drawn It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool, and I've been blind (I've been blind) I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight, I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa oh Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa oh And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off Ooh whoa oh
And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight, I'm gonna cut it out, and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa oh Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa oh And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off Ooh whoa oh (shake him off)
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back (shake it off) But given half the chance, would I take any of it back? (Shake it off) It's a fine romance, but it's left me so undone (shake it off) It's always darkest before the dawn (shake it off)
Oh whoa oh Oh whoa oh
And I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't So here's to drinks in the dark, at the end of my road And I'm ready to suffer, and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me (oh whoa oh) Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (oh whoa oh) But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen To me, yeah
Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa oh Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa oh And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off Oh whoa oh
Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa oh Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa oh And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off Oh whoa oh
