Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out 
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, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah


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


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 strong
It's always darkest before the dawn


Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah


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 final mess but it's left me so empty
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 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
'Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well, what the hell
I'm gonna let it happen to me


Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah


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


Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah


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