Shake It Out lyrics

Regrets collect
like old friends

Here to re-live
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 strong

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
so I like to keep
my issues strong

But it's always darkest
before the dawn
shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
and it's hard to dance
with a devil
on your back
so shake him off

Woah ooh

'Cause I am done with
my graceless heart
so tonight I'm gonna
cut it out
and then re-start

'Cause I like to keep
my issues strong

It's always darkest
before the dawn
shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
and it's hard to dance
with a devil
on your back
so shake him off

Woah ooh

And it's hard to dance
with a devil
on your back

And given half a 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
woah ooh

Woah ooh

And I'm damned
if I do
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
for the devil in me

Looking for heaven
for the devil in me
well what the he....ll
I'm gonna let it happen
to m.....e ye..............ah

And it's hard to dance
with a devil
on your back
so shake him off

Woah ooh

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out

Woah ooh
and it's hard to dance
with a devil
on your back
so shake him off

Woah ooh

Woh ooh
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
