Lyrics

Added by ElectraHeartSantana:
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
Tina:
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
Mercedes:
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
Tina and Mercedes:
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Mercedes:
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Santana:
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Tina, Mercedes and Santana:
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
Tina with Mercedes:
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Santana with Mercedes:
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn (Santana: Dawn!)
Tina and Mercedes:
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Tina, Mercedes and Santana:
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
Santana:
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
Mercedes:
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
Tina:
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
Tina, Mercedes and Santana:
It's always darkest before the dawn
Ooooo...
Santana:
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Santana and Tina:
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
Santana:
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Santana and Mercedes:
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat, cause
Mercedes:
Looking for heaven,
Mercedes with Santana:
found the devil in me
Looking for heaven,
Mercedes:
found the devil in me
But what the hell
Mercedes with Santana and Tina:
I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
Tina and Santana (Mercedes):
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, (Ohhh) oh whoa
(Oh) Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, (Shake it out) ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance (When it's hard to dance) with a devil on your back
Mercedes with Tina and Santana:
So shake him off, oh whoa
Tina and Santana (Mercedes):
(Shake it off)
Shake it out, shake it out, (Yeah) shake it out, shake it out, (Shake it out) ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, (Shake it out) shake it out, shake it out, (ehhh) ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance (Hard to dance) with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah (Shake him off)
(Oh oh woaah oh oh)
Shake it out, shake it out, (Shake it out) shake it out, shake it out, (Shaaake) ooh whoa
(Eeh, yeah) Shake it out, shake it out, (Ehh) shake it out, shake it out, (Eh, eh eh) ooh whoa
Mercedes with Santana and Tina:
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
Tina and Santana (Mercedes):
So shake him off, oh whoa (Shake him off, oh woooah)
