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'd 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'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
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off
Oh-whoa

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-whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off
Oh-whoa (shake him off)

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back (shake it off)
But given half the chance, would I take any of it back? (Shake it off)
It's a fine romance, but it's left me so undone (shake it off)
It's always darkest before the dawn
(Oh-whoa)
(Oh-whoa)

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 the devil in me (oh-whoa)
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (oh-whoa)
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-whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off
Oh-whoa

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off
Oh-whoa

(What the hell)
(What the hell)
(What the hell)
