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
Every demon wants his pound of flesh
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
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 it 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 it 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 fine romance, but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn
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 a devil in me
Looking for heaven, found a devil in me
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, what the hell?)
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake it 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 it 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
