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 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
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, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
(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
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
I tried to dance with the devil on your back
And given half the chance,
would I take any of it back?
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest before the dawn
and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark
'Cause looking for heaven,
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
I'm gonna let it happen to me
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
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
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
