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 And 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 (shake him off) [Verse 2] I stay out too late Got nothing in my brain That's what people say, mmm, mmm That's what people say, mmm, mmm 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 [Pre-Chorus] But I keep cruisin' Can't stop, won't stop movin' It's like I got this music in my mind Sayin' it's gonna be alright [Chorus] 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, Shake it off, oh [Bridge] And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't So here's to the drinks in the dark at the end of the 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, what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me [Chorus] (Yeah) 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake (Shake it off) Shake it off, Shake it off, oh 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 [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa (Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break) Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa (And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake) And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back (Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake) So shake him off, oh whoa (I shake it off, I shake it off)
