[Verse 1]
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games I should be playing
How to make the best of my time

[Chorus]
'Cause only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

[Verse 2]
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found

[Chorus]
'Cause only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

[Verse 3]
I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart

Florence + the Machine is an English alternative band, co-founded by front-woman, Florence Welch, and keyboardist and producer, Isabella Summers. The band is managed by Mairead Nash who also managed the original duo, known at the time as ‘Florence Robot/Isa Machine’, after Florence Welch sang Etta James‘ “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” to her in a club bathroom in December 2006.

The band first found fame in their native UK. Their debut album, Lungs (2009), went Gold within the first week of release, Platinum in less than 6 months and 4x Platinum in just over a year. They broke into the USA market after an elaborate performance of “Dog Days Are Over” at the 2010 VMA’s.

Their sophomore album, Ceremonials (2011), debuted at #1 on the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand charts. The band embarked on their second arena-based tour, the Ceremonials Tour. Most dates completely sold out.
