[Verse 1]
I think you hide
When all the world's asleep and tired
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
I think you hide
And you don't have to tell me why
You cry a little, so do I, so do I

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep

[Chorus]
I know that you're hiding
I know there's a part of you that I just cannot reach
You don't have to let me in
Just know that I'm still here
I'm ready for you whenever, whenever you need
Whenever you want to begin

[Verse 2]
I know you've tried
But something stops you every time
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
And it's your pride
That's keeping us still so far apart
But if you give a little, so will I, so will I

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep

[Chorus]
I know that you're hiding
I know there's a part of you that I just cannot reach
You don't have to let me in
Just know that I'm still here
I'm ready for you whenever, whenever you need
Whenever you want to begin

[Bridge]
I know I seem shaky
These hands not fit for holding
But if you let me, oh
I will see you right

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this (I should keep)
Up all night again this week (I should)
Breaking things that I should keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this (I should keep)
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep

[Chorus]
I know that you're hiding
I know there's a part of you that I just cannot reach
You don't have to let me in

[Outro]
I'm still here
I'm still here

Florence + The Machine

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.
