Take It All
Adele - FLAC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less
Didn't I do it right? Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to having me 'round
Still how can you walk away
From all my tears
It's gonna be an empty road without me right here
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love
Maybe I should leave, to help you see
Nothing is better than this and this is everything we need
So is it over? Is this really it, you're giving up so easily
I thought you loved me more than this
But go on, go on, take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love
I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust
Oh if only, if only you knew
Everything I do, is for you
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all, with my love
Take it all with my love
Take it all with my love
The song "Take It All" by Adele is a heart-wrenching plea from a lover who has given everything they have to their partner, but the relationship has still fallen apart. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and despair, as the singer tries to make sense of why their lover would walk away despite all the effort they put into the relationship.
The opening lines, "Didn't I give it all? Tried my best, gave you everything I had, everything and no less," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer feels like they have done everything they possibly could to make the relationship work, and now they are left wondering what they did wrong. The lines "Maybe you got too used to having me 'round, still how can you walk away from all my tears" suggest that the singer feels taken for granted and unappreciated.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more resigned to the breakup, even offering to leave themselves if it will help their partner see that "nothing is better than this and this is everything we need." However, despite their willingness to change and adapt to the situation, the singer cannot understand why their partner would give up on the relationship so easily, and they are left heartbroken and alone.
Overall, "Take It All" is a powerful song about the pain of losing a relationship, and Adele's emotive vocals only serve to amplify the message.

Tried my best
I put forth my greatest effort
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less
I gave you everything I could and didn't hold back

Perhaps you took me for granted
Still how can you walk away
How could you leave me?
From all my tears
Even though I'm crying because of your decision
It's gonna be an empty road without me right here
My absence will leave a void in your life

I had faith in your love for me

If only you understood my actions better
Everything I do is for you
Everything I do is motivated by my love for you
Just take it, take it all with you
Take everything, I won't stop you
Take it all with my love
Take everything with all the love I have for you
Take it all with my love
Take everything with all the love I have for you
