[Verse 1]
I'm sorry I ruined your birthday
I guess I could go back to university
Try and make my mother proud
Stop this phase I'm in, she deems dangerous and loud
The spelling is a problem
As is the discipline
And I don't think it would be too long
Before I was drunk in Camberwell again

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Chorus]
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I don't say it enough
Grace, you are so loved

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry I ruined your birthday, you had turned 18
And the sunshine hit me and I was behaving strangely
All the walls were melting and there were mermaids everywhere
Hearts flew from my hands, and I could see people's feelings

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Chorus]
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I don't say it enough
Grace, you are so loved

[Bridge]
And you, you were the one I treated the worst
Only because you loved me the most
We haven't spoken in a long time
I think about it sometimes
I don't know who I was back then
And I hope on hope (hope on hope)
I would never treat anyone like that again

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Chorus]
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I don't say it enough
Grace, you are so loved

[Chorus]
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a fucking mess
Grace, I don't say it enough
Grace, you are so loved

[Outro]
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in
(Tell me what I can do, I will make it up to you)
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in
(Tell me what I can do, I will make it up to you)
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in
This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

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.
