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 his questions, such a mournful sound 
 Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 
 So 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, oh woah 
 Shake it out, shake it out 
 Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah   
 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   
 It's hard to dance 
 With a devil on your back 
 So shake him off, oh woah   
 And it's hard to dance 
 With a devil on your back 
 And given half the chance 
 Would I take any of it back? 
 It's a final mess but it's left me so empty 
 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 the devil in me 
 Looking for heaven, 
 Found the devil in me 
 Well, 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   
 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   
 It's hard to dance 
 With a devil on your back 
 So shake him off, oh woah
