Now & Then
Adele · Other Songs - Adele
Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart so bad
It cuts through the deepest parts of me
And fills up my mouth with words
That cry how I'm still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we'd made
Yeah
But as time goes on and my age gets older I love the ones I know
They're enough to picture the rain
'Cause heart break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
It cuts through the deepest parts of me
And fills up my mouth with words
That cry how I'm still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we'd made
Yeah
But as time goes on and my age gets older I love the ones I know
They're enough to picture the rain
'Cause heart break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait to make us grow fonder
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh so that we know that it hurts
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
You know when to make me
Imagine you're here
