Verse 1
There's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the darkFinally, I can see you crystal clearGo ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bareSee how I'll leave with every piece of youDon't underestimate the things that I will doThere's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the darkPre-Chorus
The scars of your love remind me of usThey keep me thinkin' that we almost had it allThe scars of your love, they leave me breathlessI can't help feelingChorus
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
Baby, I have no story to be toldBut I've heard one on you, now I'm gonna make your head burnThink of me in the depths of your despairMake a home down there, as mine sure won't be sharedPre-Chorus
(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 thinkin' 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 feelingChorus
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 allRolling in the deepYou had my heart inside of your handBut you played it with a beatingBridge
Throw your soul through every open door (Ooh woah, oh)Count your blessings to find what you look for (Woah)Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Ooh woah, oh)You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sownBreakdown
(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
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 itYou played it to the beatWhat the song means
