(Shake him off) It’s a fine romance But it’s left me so undone (Shake him off) It’s always darkest before the dawn (Shake him off) (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 aimed right at my throat ’Cause looking for Heaven, found the devil in me (Oh-woah) Looking for Heaven, found the devil in me (Oh-woah) But, what the hell, I’m gonna let it happen to me, yeah 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 And 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 And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh-woah
