Adele - 25 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just the guitar, okay, cool

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
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 (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (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 (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)




We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

Overall Meaning

The song Send My Love by Adele is about moving on from a past relationship and letting go of the hurt and bitterness that came with it. The opening lines “Just the guitar, okay, cool, this was all you, none of it me” sets the tone for the song’s theme of taking responsibility for one’s actions and letting go of the blame game.


The chorus of the song sees the singer asking the person she used to be with to treat their new lover better and to send her love to them. It’s a candid admission that she’s moved on from the relationship and wishes them well. She acknowledges that they both have to let go of the past and grow up. The lines “We both know we ain’t kids no more” indicates that the couple were perhaps quite young when they were together and now that they’re older, they need to let go of their ghosts and start anew.


The verses paint a picture of a relationship that was unbalanced, with one person being more invested than the other. Lines like “I was too strong, you were trembling” and “I was running, you were walking” illustrate a fundamental difference in what they both wanted from the relationship, leading to its breakdown. Ultimately, the song is about forgiving and moving on, a positive message of healing and growth.

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....
