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
'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, 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
(Shake him off)
And it's hard to dance
With a devil on your back (shake him off)
And given half the chance
Would I take any of it back? (Shake him off)
It's a fine romance
But it's left me so undone (shake him off)
It's always darkest before the dawn (shake him off)
(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 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 the devil in me (oh, woah)
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (oh, woah)
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, 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
(What the hell?) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (what the hell?)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
