Shake it out

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relieve your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way.

And all of the goons come out to play
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
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So, shake him off!

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 oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So, shake him off!

And you tried to dance with the devil on your back,
Given half the chance
Would I take any of it back?
It's a fine romance but it's left me so impaired,
It's always darkest before the dawn


And I'm damned if I do and 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 hold
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me
Looking for heaven found a devil in me
But why the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me?

Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back,
So, shake him off!

Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back,
So, shake him off!
