Florence + The Machine

It's always darkest before the dawn.

I knew that somehow I could find my way back, Then I heard you heart beating, You were in the darkness too, So I stayed in the darkness with you.

If you could only see The beast you've made of me, I held it in, but now it seems You've it in running free, The saints can't help me now The ropes have been unbound...

You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said.

You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay.

My love has concrete feet, My love's an iron ball, Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall

Hold on to your heart, cause I'm coming to take it. Hold on to you heart, cause I'm coming to break it.

Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments.

St. Jude, maybe I've always been more comfortable in chaos.

I built a man made out of bricks, and lived inside his chest I beat my head against the wall to make a heart deep in his breast I smashed my fist against his ribs to suck the air…
