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 rules come out to play And every demon wants his pounds of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself Oh, I like to keep my issues strong Oh, it's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind And I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way But I'm always dragging that horse around And our love is questioned, such a mold food sign But tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground Oh, I like to keep my issues strong Oh, it's always darkest before the dawn Oh, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off Oh, and it's hard to dance with the devil on your back So shake him off Oh And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back And given half the chance, would I take any of it? That is a fine romance, but it's got me so undone Oh, it's always darkest before the dawn Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh 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, I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark and right in my throat Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me Oh, we're looking for heaven, found the devil in me But why the hell am I gonna let it happen to me? Oh, oh, oh Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off Oh, and it's hard to dance with the devil on your back So shake him off Oh Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off Oh, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake it off Oh Ooh Ooh
