There's a fire starting in my heart,
Describing the passion and intensity the singer is feeling

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
The passion is getting stronger and helping the singer emerge from a difficult time

Finally, I can see you crystal clear.
The singer's clarity and understanding of a difficult situation

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.
The singer is challenging those who have betrayed or wronged them to face the consequences

See how I leave, with every piece of you
The singer is moving on and taking pieces of the other person with them

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
The singer is warning that they are capable of anything to succeed

The scars of your love, remind me of us.
The singer's memories of the past relationship are tied to the hurt and pain inflicted

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The singer is reminiscing about the good times they had but also the missed opportunities

They leave me breathless
The pain from the memories leaves the singer breathless

I can't help feeling...
The singer's emotions are overwhelming and uncontrollable

Rolling in the Deep
A phrase that suggests being in deep emotional pain

Your had my heart inside of your hand
The other person had control over the singer's emotions

And you played it.To the beat
The other person manipulated the singer's emotions and played them like an instrument

Baby I have no story to be told
The singer doesn't have a story to share because their heartache is too personal to be revealed

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn.
The singer has heard stories about the other person and is seeking revenge

Think of me in the depths of your despair.
The singer wants the other person to remember them at their lowest point

Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared.
The singer plans to dwell in the other person's misery because they won't share their own

Throw yourself through ever open door (Whoa)
The singer is providing advice to take advantage of every opportunity presented

Count your blessings to find what look for (Whoa-uh)
The singer suggests being grateful for what one has before searching for more

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Whoa)
The singer wants to turn their pain into something valuable

And pay me back in kind- You reap just what you sow.
The singer believes in karma and wants the other person to face the consequences of their actions

It all
A reference to the potential success the singer and others could have achieved
