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
Then every demon wants his pound of flesh
but I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.

And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

Im always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight Im 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 uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight Im gonna cut it out 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 uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

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

And Im damned if I doand damned if I dont
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope
Its 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 why the hell Im gonna let it happen to me?

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
