Lyrics of Rolling in the Deep by Adele

verse

There′s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, 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 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

pre-chorus

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

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 (you′re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

verse

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

(You're gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
That we almost had it all (you′re gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
They leave me breathless (tears are gonna fall)
I can′t help feeling (rolling in the deep)

chorus

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 (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)
We 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

Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
(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 (you′re gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

chorus

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 (you′re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (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 (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat
Writer(s): Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Paul Richard Epworth
