  • Chasing Pavements

    Song by Adele

    I’ve made up my mind
    Don’t need to think it over
    If I’m wrong, I am right
    Don’t need to look no further
    This ain’t lust
    I know this is love, but

    If I tell the world
    I’ll never say enough
    ‘Cause it was not said to you
    And that’s exactly what I need to do
    If I end up with you

    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere
    Or would it be a waste?
    Even If I knew my place, should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere

    I build myself up
    And fly around in circles
    Waiting as my heart drops
    And my back begins to tingle
    Finally, could this be it, or?

    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere
    Or would it be a waste?
    Even if I knew my place, should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere, yeah

    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere
    Or would it be a waste?
    Even if I knew my place, should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
    Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
    Oh-oh

    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere
    Or would it be a waste?
    Even if I knew my place, should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
    Even if it leads nowhere

  • I Drink Wine

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    How can one become so bounded
    By choices that somebody else makes?
    How come we’ve both become a version
    Of a person we don’t even like?

    We’re in love with the world
    But the world just wants to bring us down
    By putting ideas in our heads
    That corrupt our hearts somehow

    When I was a child
    Every single thing could blow my mind
    Soaking it all up for fun
    But now I only soak up wine

    They say to play hard, you work hard
    Find balance in the sacrifice
    Yet I don’t know anybody
    Who’s truly satisfied

    You better believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
    To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
    But the higher we climb
    Feels like we’re both none the wiser (ahh)

    So I hope I learn to get over myself
    Stop trying to be somebody else
    So we can love each other for free
    Everybody wants something
    You just want me

    Why am I obsessing
    About the things I can’t control?
    Why am I seeking approval
    From people I don’t even know?

    In these crazy times I hope to find
    Something I can cling on to
    ‘Cause I need some substance in my life
    Something real, something that feels true

    You better believe for you I’ve cried (I’ve cried, I’ve cried)
    High tides (high tides, high tides)
    ‘Cause I want you so bad
    But you can’t fight fire with fire (ahh)

    Oh, so I hope I learn to get over myself
    Stop trying to be somebody else
    Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
    Love you for free (each other for free)
    Everybody wants something from me
    You just want me

    Listen, I know how low I can go
    I give as good as I get
    You get the brunt of it all
    ‘Cause you’re all I’ve got left
    Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)
    We both will find (we both find) peace of mind
    Sometimes the road less traveled
    Is a road best left behind (ahh)

    Well, I hope I learn to get over myself
    Stop trying to be somebody else
    Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
    Love you for free, yeah (each other for free)
    ‘Cause everybody wants something from me
    You just want me

    You better believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
    To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
    But the higher we climb
    Feels like we’re both none the wiser

    The only regret I have
    I wish that it was just at a different time
    A most turbulent period of my life
    Why would I put that on you?
    That’s just like a very heavy thing to have to talk about
    But because of that period of time
    Even though it was so much fun
    I didn’t get to go on and make new memories with him
    There was just memories in a big storm

  • Love Is A Game

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    All your expectations of my love are impossible
    Surely, you know
    That I’m not easy to hold
    It’s so sad how incapable
    Of learning to grow I am

    My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
    I’ve been trying my whole life to solve
    God only knows how I’ve cried
    I can’t take another defeat
    A next time would be the ending of me
    Now that I see

    That love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    How unbelievable (Unbelievable)
    Of me to fall for the lies that I tell? (Lies I tell)
    The dream that I sell (Dream I sell)
    When my heartache, it’s inevitable (Inevitable)
    But I’m no good at doing it well
    Not that I care (I don’t care)
    Why should anything about it be fair?

    When love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    No amount of love
    Can keep me satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)
    I can’t keep up (I can’t keep up, I can’t keep up)
    When I keep changing my mind
    (Change my mind, change my mind)
    The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise

    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
    What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    Oh you know, I’d do it all again
    I love it now like I loved it then
    I’m a fool for that
    You know I’m, you know I’m gonna do it
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    I’d do it all again, like I did then

  • Don’t You Remember

    Song by Adele ‧ 2011

    When will I see you again?
    You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
    No final kiss to seal any sins
    I had no idea of the state we were in

    I know I have a fickle heart and a 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 that 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 a 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

    I 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?

  • Rumour Has It

    Song by Adele ‧ 2011

    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh

    She, she ain’t real
    She ain’t gon’ 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
    She 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 (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)

    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 you shouldn’t be
    Like when we creep out when 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 (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)

    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 (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour, rumour)

    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it (rumour)
    Rumour has it

    But rumour has it, he’s the one I’m leaving you for

  • My Little Love

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    Mmh, mmh

    My little love
    I see your eyes widen like an ocean
    When you look at me so full of my emotions
    I’m finding it hard to be here, sincerely
    I know you feel lost, it’s my fault completely

    Tell me you love me
    I love you a million percent

    I don’t recognise myself in the coldness of the daylight
    So I ain’t surprised you can read through all of my lies
    I feel so bad to be here when I’m so guilty
    I’m so far gone, and you’re the only one who can save me

    Oi, I feel like you don’t love me
    Why do you feel like that?
    Do you like-like me?
    You know, mommy doesn’t like anyone else like I like you, right?

    I’m holding on (barely)
    Mama’s got a lot to learn (it’s heavy)
    I’m holding on (catch me)
    Mama’s got a lot to learn (teach me)

    Mummy’s been having a lot of big feelings recently
    (Like how?)
    Just, like, hang on lemme-, my fingers are trapped
    Like, um, I feel a bit confused
    (Why?) I don’t know
    And I feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing
    (Oh, at all?)
    At all
    And that would make me go

    My little love
    Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches?
    When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks?
    I wanted you to have everything I never had
    I’m so sorry if what I’ve done makes you feel sad

    I love your dad ’cause he gave you to me
    You’re half me and you’re half daddy
    Oh

    I’m holding on (barely)
    Mama’s got a lot to learn (it’s heavy)
    I’m holding on (catch me)
    Mama’s got a lot to learn (teach me)

    I’m having a bad day, I’m having a very anxious day
    I feel very paranoid, I feel very stressed
    Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but

    I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely
    And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own
    I always preferred being on my own than being with people
    And I feel like maybe I’ve been, like, overcompensating
    Being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him
    And I feel like today I’m home, and I wanna be at home
    I just wanna watch TV and curl up in a ball and
    Be in my sweats and stuff like that, I just feel really lonely
    I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot

  • Remedy

    Song by Adele ‧ 2015

    I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be
    So desperate to find a way out of my world and finally breathe
    Right before my eyes, I saw that my heart, it came to life
    This ain’t easy, it’s not meant to be
    Every story has its scars

    But when the pain cuts you deep
    When the night keeps you from sleeping
    Just look and you will see
    That I will be your remedy
    When the world seems so cruel
    And your heart makes you feel like a fool
    I promise you will see
    That I will be, I will be your remedy

    No river is too wide or too deep for me to swim to you
    Come whatever, I’ll be the shelter that won’t let the rain come through
    Your love, it is my truth
    And I will always love you
    Love you, oh

    When the pain cuts you deep
    When the night keeps you from sleeping
    Just look and you will see
    That I will be your remedy
    When the world seems so cruel
    And your heart makes you feel like a fool
    I promise you will see
    That I will be, I will be your remedy, oh

    When the pain cuts you deep
    When the night keeps you from sleeping
    Just look and you will see
    I will be, I will be
    When the world seems so cruel
    And your heart makes you feel like a fool
    I promise you will see
    That I will be, I will be, I will be
    Your remedy, mm-hm, mm-hmm

  • Hold On

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    Hold on
    You are still strong
    Love will soon come
    Just hold, hold on

    Oh, what have I done yet again?
    Have I not learned anything?
    I don’t want to live in chaos
    It’s like a ride that I want to get off
    It’s hard to hold onto who I am
    When I’m stumbling in the dark for a hand
    I am so tired of battling with myself
    With no chance to win

    Hold on
    Let time be patient
    You are still strong
    Let pain be gracious
    Love will soon come
    Just hold, hold on

    I swear to God, I am such a mess
    The harder that I try, I regress
    I’m my own worst enemy
    Right now I truly hate being me
    Every day feels like the road I’m on
    Might just open up and swallow me whole
    How do I feel so mighty small
    When I’m struggling to feel at all?

    Just hold on
    Let time be patient (you)
    You are still strong
    Let pain be gracious
    (Love will soon come)
    Just hold (you, just hold on, you, just hold on)
    Hold on (you, just hold on, just hold on)

    Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get
    (Just hold on, just hold on)
    And the emptiness actually lets us forget
    (Just hold on, just hold on)
    Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret
    (Just hold on, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)

    So just hold on, ooh-ooh
    Let time be patient
    (You are still strong)
    Let pain be gracious
    Love will soon come, baby
    If you just hold on

    Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)
    Just let time be patient (you)
    ‘Cause you’re still strong
    You’re still strong (are still strong)
    Just be gracious
    Love will soon come
    If you just hold on, mm
    (You, just hold on, you, just just hold on, you, just hold on)
    Just be patient, just be patient (you, just hold on)
    You, just hold on, you, just hold on (you are still strong)
    You, just hold on
    Just hold on, just hold on

  • Cry Your Heart Out

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace
    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace

    When I walk in a room, I’m invisible
    I feel like a ghost
    All my friends keep on tellin’ me that
    This feeling won’t last, mm
    I can’t get no relief, I’m so tired of myself
    I swear I’m dead in the eyes
    I have nothin’ to feel no more, I can’t even cry

    When will I begin to feel like me again?
    I’m hanging by a thread
    My skin’s paper thin, I can’t stop wavering
    I’ve never been more scared

    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace
    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace

    When I wake up, I’m afraid of the idea
    Of facin’ the day
    I would rather stay home on my own
    Drink it all away
    Please stop callin’ me, it’s exhausting
    There’s really nothin’ left to say
    I created this storm, it’s only fair I have to sit in its rain

    When will I begin to feel like me again?
    I’m hanging by a thread
    My skin’s paper thin, I can’t stop wavering
    I’ve never been more scared

    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace
    Cry your heart out, it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace

    All love is devout, no feeling is a waste
    But keep it to yourself now, before it’s too late
    In the end it’s just you, stop drowning in wait
    Your love is useless without it

    Cry your heart out (cry, yeah), it’ll clean your face
    When you’re in doubt, go at your own pace

  • Strangers by Nature

    Song by Adele ‧ 2021

    I’ll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart
    For all of my lovers in the present and in the dark
    Every anniversary, I’ll pay respects and say I’m sorry
    For they never stood a chance as if they could
    When no one knows what it’s like to be us

    I’ve never seen the sky this color before
    It’s like I’m noticing everythin’ a little bit more
    Now that all the dust has settled
    I rebut all my rebuttals
    No one knows what it’s like to be us

    Strangers by nature
    Strangers by nature

    Will I ever get there?
    Oh, I hope that someday I’ll learn
    To nurture what I’ve done

    Ooh-ooh, ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Mmh-mhm-mhm-mhm-mm
    Ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh
    Alright then, I’m ready
