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 gouls come out to play
and every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep somethings to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a foul and I have been blind
I could never leave the past behind
I can se no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
Our love is questioned such a mournful sound
So tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its 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 its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, Oh woah
And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight I'm gonna cut it and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its 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 its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, Oh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back (Shake it out)
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
Its a fine romance buts left me so undone
its always darkest before the dawn
Oh woah
Oh woah
And Im damned if I do
And damned if I don't
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my road oh
And Im ready to suffer
And ready to hope
Its a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat cause
Look out for heaven found the devil in me
Looking for heaven for the devil in you
But why the hell am I gonna let that 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 woah
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, Oh woah
Shake it out, Shake it out,
Shake it out, Shake it out, Oh woah
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, Oh woah
Ooooohoo oohohoh x8
