Adele 21 Lyrics
1.Rolling In The Deep

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 ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your sheet 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 hands
(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 on 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 hands
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hands
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'll pay me back in kind
and reap just what you've sown

(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 hands
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You 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 hands
But you played it
You played it
Played it
You played it to the beat


2.Rumour Has It

She, she ain't real
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will
She is a stranger
You and I have history
Or don't you remember
Sure, she's got it all
But, baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds
You made a fool out of you
And, boy, she's bringing you down
She made your heart melt
But you're cold to the core
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore
Rumour has it, ooh x8

She is half your age
But I'm guessing that's the reason that you strayed
I heard you've been missing me
You've been telling people things that you shouldn't be
Like when we creep out and she ain't around
Haven't you heard the rumours
Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds
You made a fool out of me
And, boy, you're bringing me down
You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core
But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for
Rumour has it, ooh x8

All of these words whispered in my ear
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it
People say crazy things
Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it
Just 'cause you heard it

Rumour has it, ooh x14
But rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for


3.Turning Tables

Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I cant give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Under hardest guise I see, ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try,
no, I will never be knocked down
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I cant give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh


4.Don't You Remember

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness
And a wandering eye
And a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When was the last time you thought of me
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do, the less I know
But I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness
And a wandering eye
And a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
Gave you the space so you could breathe
I kept my distance so you would be free
In hope that you'd find the missing piece
To bring you back to me
Why don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
When will I see you again?


5.Set Fire To The Rain

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
your name
When I lay with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, I felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
And heart you caught must be waiting for ya
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for ya
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, I felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn


6.He Won't Go

Some say I'll be better without you
But they don't know you like I do
Or at least the sides I thought I knew
I can't bear this time
It drags on as I lose my mind
Reminded by things I find
Like notes and clothes you've left behind
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done
I won't rise until this battle's won
My dignity's become undone
But I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk

So petrified,
I'm so scared to step into this ride
What if I lose my heart and fail, declined
I won't forgive me if I give up trying
I heard his voice today
I didn't know a single word he said
Not one resemblance to the man I met
Just a vacant broken boy instead
But I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk
There will be times,
we'll try and give it up
Bursting at the seams, no doubt
We'll almost fall apart, then burn to pieces
So watch them turn to dust
But nothing will ever taint us

I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk
Will he, will he still remember me?
Will he still love me even when he's free?
Or will he go back to the place
where he will choose the poison over me?
When we spoke yesterday
He said to hold my breath and sit and wait
I'll be home so soon, I won't be late
He won't go
He can't do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is
He's willing to take the risk
So I won't go
He can't do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is
I'm willing to take the risk
'Cause he won't go
He can't do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is?
We're willing to take the risk
I won't go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk


7.Take It All

Didn't I give it all?
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had
Everything and no less
Didn't I do it right?
Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to
Having me around
Still, how can you walk away
From all my tears?
It's gonna be an empty road
Without me right here
But go on and take it
Take it all with you
Don't look back
At this crumbling fool
Just take it all
With my love
Take it all
With my love
Maybe I should leave
To help you see
Nothing is better than this
And this is everything we need
So is it over?
Is this really it?
You're giving up so easily
I thought you loved me more than this
But go on, go on and take it
Take it all with you
Don't look back
At this crumbling fool
Just take it all
With my love
Take it all
With my love
I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home
I will adjust
Oh, if only
If only you knew
Everything I do is for you

But go on, go on and take it
Take it all with you
Don't look back
At this crumbling fool
Just take it
Take it all with you
Don't look back
At this crumbling fool
Just take it all
With my love
Take it all
With my love
Take it all
With my love


8.I'll Be Waiting

Hold me closer one more time
Say that you love me in your last goodbye
Please forgive me for my sins
Yes, I swam dirty waters
But you pushed me in
I've seen your face under every sky
Over every border and on every line
You know my heart more than I do
We were the greatest, me and you
But we had time against us
And miles between us
The heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
But now the sky has cleared and it's blue
And I see my future in you
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you
Let me stay here for just one more night
Build your world around me
And pull me to the light
So I can tell you that I was wrong
I was a child then
but now I'm willing to learn
But we had time against us
And miles between us
The heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
But now the sky has cleared and it's blue
And I see my future in you
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you
Time against us
Miles between us
Heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
Time against us
Miles between us
Heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
I know I left you speechless
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
when you're ready to love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you


9.One And Only

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows why it's taken me so long
to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want
I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your
your one and only
Promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name
Will I ever know
how it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
whichever road I choose, you'll go?
I don't know why I'm scared
'Cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your
your one and only
I promise I'm worth it, mmm
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
Nobody's pefect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's pefect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's pefect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's pefect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
So I dare you to let me be your
your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts


10.Love Song

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you


11.Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me
it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me
it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah


12.If It Hadn't Been For Love

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be wishing I was free
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love


13.Hiding My Heart

This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
It blew me away
It blew me away
It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Dropped you off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of your head
Watched you wave
Watched you wave
Then I went on home to my skyscrapers
and neon lights and waiting papers
That I call home
I call that home
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain, the morning rain
And though I wish that you were here
On that same old road that brought me here
It's calling me home, It's calling me home
I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away
