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 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 these questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground '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 woaaah Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh woah
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 woaaah Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh woah
And given half the chance Would I take any of it back It's a fine romance but it's left me so impaired It's always darkest before the dawn
Oh woah, oh woah...
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 a devil in me Looking for heaven found a devil in me But why the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me?
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaah Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaah Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, Shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh woah
