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

Its always darkest before the dawn

And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way I can see no way

Im always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound

Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues strong

But its 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 its hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart

Cause I like to keep my issues strong

Its 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 its 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

Its a final mess but its left me so empty

Its always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah oh woah

And Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont

So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope

Its 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 Im 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 its 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 its hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off oh woah
