Shake It Out

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 strong

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

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues strong

But 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 strong

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 you tried to dance with the 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 and right at my throat

Cause looking for heaven for the devil in me

Looking for heaven for 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 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
