Florence Welch - Shake It Out lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 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 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 [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa [Verse 2] And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm going to cut it out and then restart Because I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa [Verse 3] And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back And given half the 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 [Bridge] 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 rope And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat Because looking for heaven, found the devil in me Looking for heaven, found the devil in me Well, why the hell did I let it happen to me? [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa (What the hell) Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa (What the hell) And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa [Outro] What the hell What the hell What the hell
