Favorite Song

I know this an old song, but it's made a new meaning for me. I am so thankful for music and the things I learn from it. This particular song has made 2013 for me. God bless these lyrics.



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 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 drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn

 
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, 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 woah!

 
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 drawn It's always darkest before the dawn  


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! And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off
 
And given half the chance would I take any of it back It's a fine romance but its left me so undone It's always darkest before the dawn

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, 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

 
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!

  1. So I'm not sure how you feel about Glee, but since becoming a stay at home mom, I've watched a lot of TV on Netflix/Hulu. One episode of Glee is about a lady whose husband is beating her, and a few of the girls on the show get together and sing this song to her, to support her in leaving him. I cried my face off.
