(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 your hand
• There's a fire starting in my heart (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the And you played it, to the beat
dark (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Finally I can see you crystal clear Could have had it all
Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your Rolling in the deep
ship [shit] bare
See how I leave with every piece of you You had my heart inside your hand
Don't underestimate the things that I will do But you played it, with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
There's a fire starting in my heart Count your blessings to find what you look for
Reaching a fever pitch Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
And it's bringing me out the dark You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
The scars of your love remind me of us (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all We could have had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have it all We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me) (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me) We could have had it all
And you played it, to the beat (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) Rolling in the deep
Baby, I have no story to be told (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
But I've heard one on you You had my heart inside your hand
And I'm gonna make your head burn (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Think of me in the depths of your despair And you played it to the beat
Make a home down there (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
As mine sure won't be shared
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me) (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
(You're gonna wish you never had met me) You had my heart inside of your hand
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling But you played it
We could have had it all You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.
