Healing.



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 

And 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, ooh woaaah 
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

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

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 strong 
It's always darkest before the dawn 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

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

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 

Oh woah, oh 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 rope 
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, found the devil in me 
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me 
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
