Rolling In The Deep

Adele · 21 [2011]

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

Finally I can see you crystal clear

Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare



See how I'll leave with every piece of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark



The scars of your love remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling



We could have had it all

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

And you played it, to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



Baby I have no story to be told

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared



(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

The scars of your love remind me of us

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

I can't help feeling



We could have had it all

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

And you played it, to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



We could have had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

But you played it, with a beating



Throw your soul through every open door

Count your blessings to find what you look for

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold

You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow



(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

We could have had it all

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all

(You're gonna wish you, never had met me)

It all, it all, it all

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



We could have had it all

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)

And you played it, to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



We could have had it all

(You're gonna wish you, never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)



You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish you, never had met me)

But you played it, you played it

You played it, you played it to the beat
