Rolling In The Deep Lyrics
[Verse 1: Adele]
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 sh!t 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
[Pre-Chorus: Adele]
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
[Chorus: Adele]
We could've 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)
[Verse 2: Adele]
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you
Now I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared
[Pre-Chorus: Adele]
(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
[Chorus: Adele]
We could've 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)
Could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
[Bridge: Adele]
Throw your soul through every open door (Oh woah, oh)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (Woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Oh woah, oh)
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
[Breakdown: Adele]
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could've had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all, yeah
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
[Chorus: Adele]
We could've 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)
Could've 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

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Adele describes the intense emotions she's feeling after the end of a relationship. The "fire starting in my heart" represents her growing anger and pain.

She emphasizes that she won't be underestimated and that her reaction will be powerful and all-encompassing.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus reflects on the memories of the relationship. The "scars of your love" are the emotional wounds left by the betrayal, which remind her of the good times they had and the potential they almost realized.
