Send My Love
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands all over my body and told me, mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love, everlasting, you and me, mmm
That was what you told me
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
I was too strong, you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising), mmm
Baby, I'm still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down), mmm
There's only one way down
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, oh
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We've both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready
If you're ready, if you're ready
We both know we ain't kids no more
No, we ain't kids no more
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover

In Adele's song "Send My Love," the singer is saying goodbye to her ex-lover and moving on. The song starts with just guitar and Adele's voice, giving a stripped down and raw feeling to the beginning of the song. She sings "This was all you, none of it me, You put your hands all over my body and told me" indicating that she gave herself to him completely, but he wasn't ready to be in a long-term committed relationship. Despite the promises he made to her, he let her go, and now she has to move on.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "send my love to your new lover, treat her better, we've gotta let go of all of our ghosts." Here, Adele addresses her ex-lover directly, asking him to treat his new partner better than he treated her, and to let go of the past they shared. She acknowledges that they are no longer the young, carefree people they once were and that they need to move on and grow up. The verses build up to the chorus, with Adele singing about how she was too strong for him and how he couldn't keep up with her.
Overall, "Send My Love" is a powerful ballad of letting go and moving on from a past love that didn't work out. Adele's voice carries the emotion of the words, and the stripped down nature of the song adds to its intensity.

If you're ready, I am ready
...then I'm ready too.

I have written a poem about our one and only Adele,
In realms where melodies softly sway,
There dwells a voice, a radiant ray,
A songbird, born of humble hue,
Yet with a gift that deeply grew.
Her name, a whisper on the breeze,
In every heart, she finds her ease.
Adele, the muse of soulful fire,
Her notes ignite, never to tire.
From London's streets, her tale unfurls,
A journey marked with countless pearls.
With every lyric, she unveils,
The joys, the sorrows, the heartfelt tales.
In "Rolling in the Deep," she roars,
A tempest unleashed, breaking shores.
With "Someone Like You," she tenderly weaves,
A tapestry of longing, hearts she cleaves.
Through "Hello," echoes of regrets,
Resonate in souls, the heart besets.
Yet hope still blooms in melodies bright,
As Adele sings of love's pure light.
Her voice, a vessel for the soul,
Through highs and lows, it takes its toll.
But in each strain, resilience found,
A testament to depths profound.
So let us raise our voices high,
To Adele's spirit, soaring nigh.
In her songs, we find our own refrain,
A symphony of joy, of loss, of pain.
For in her music, we're all akin,
Bound by the threads of what's within.
In every note, a story told,
Adele's legacy, forever bold.
I love you Adele more then myself....
