"Shake It Out" lyrics

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

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, woah, woah

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
And right at my throat

Because looking for heaven, found the devil in me (woah)
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (woah)
Well, what the hell? I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah (woah)

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, woah
