Lyrics
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
Our love is pastured 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) Ooh-woah
(Shake it out, shake it out)
(Shake it out, shake it out) Ooh-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
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 (Ooh-woah)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out (Ooh-woah)
Before the dawn
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off (Ooh-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
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, found a devil in me
Looking for heaven, found a 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-woah)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out (Ooh-woah)
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off (Ooh-woah)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out (Ooh-woah)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh-woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
But what the hell?
What the hell??
What the hell?
What the hell?
Thank you so much
