its always darkest before the dawn

I've been listening to this song for months and thought I would share. i run to it on repeat and find it so uplifting and motivating to move one once and for all. Not only is beautifully sung by Florence...it fits so perfectly for us. Its about realization of the pain and suffering eating at you. Taking a plunge, knowing its going to hurt like hell but having hope for whats to come. Letting go and living your life.

Shake that N off and dance!!

Shake it Off- Florence and the Machine

REGRETS COLLECT like old friends
Here to relieve your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way.

And all of the ghouls come out to play
EVERY DEMON WANTS HIS POUND OF FLESH
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
ITS ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

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
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'M GONNA BURY THAT HORSE in the ground
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
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
AND IT'S HARD TO DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ON YOUR BACK
So, SHAKE HIM OFF!

And I am done with my graceless heart
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
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So, shake him off!

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
GIVEN HALF THE CHANCE WOULD I TAKE ANY OF IT BACK
ITS 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 rope
And I'M READY TO SUFFER and READY TO HOPE
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause LOOKING FOR HEAVEN, FOUND A DEVIL IN ME
Looking for heaven, found a 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
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back,
So, shake him off!

Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
Shake it out, Shake it out
Shake it out, Shake it out
Oh oh oh!
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back,
SO SHAKE HIM OFF

vFox, thank you for this...

I always liked the song (Flo & the Machine are awesome) but never knew the words. Now I LOVE THE SONG. I, too, will play it over and over. It's way too hard to dance with the devil on my back. I am shaking and shaking him off. Most sincerely, (trying to not be) spinning
