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.
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, So shake him off, oh woah.
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, oh woah, Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, So shake him off, 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 rope, 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 what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me.
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, 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, oh woah, Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah, And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, So shake him off, oh woah.
