Shake It Out Lyrics By Florence The Machine

    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

    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
    and it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
    so shake him off ohwhoa

    and i am done with my graceless heart
    so tonight i’m gonna cut it out and then restart
    ’cause i like to keep my issues drawn
    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
    and it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
    so shake him off oh whoa shake him off

    and it’s hard to dance
    with a devil on your back shake him off
    and given half the chance
    would i take any of it back shake him off
    it’s a fine romance
    but it’s left me so undone shake him off
    shake him off it’s always darkest before the dawn
    oh whoa
    oh whoa

    breakdown
    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
    ’cause looking for heaven found the devil in me oh woah
    looking for heaven found the devil in me oh woah
    but what the hell i’m gonna let it happen to me yeah

    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
    and it’s hard to dance 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
    and it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
    so shake him off oh whoa

    what the hell ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohohoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohwoahoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohohoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohwoahoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohohoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohwoahoh
    ohohohoh
    ohohohoh ohohohohoh
    ohohohoh
