Haley Reinhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
And it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it to the beat
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(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 of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
And you played it to the beat
And you played it to the beat
The song "Rolling In The Deep" by Haley Reinhart is a soulful ballad in which the singer expresses her pain and anger after being betrayed by a lover. In the first few lines, Haley sings about a fire that is starting in her heart, reaching a fever pitch, and bringing her out of the dark. This fire is a metaphor for the emotions that she is experiencing, which are in danger of consuming her. She then threatens her former lover, telling him that she will reveal his secrets and take everything from him if he sells her out.
In the second verse, Haley sings about how the scars of her love for him remind her of what they had and what could have been. She realizes that he has left her breathless with his betrayal, and she is angry that they could have had it all, but he played games with her heart. She is determined to make him pay for what he has done and warns him that he will regret ever crossing her.
The chorus repeats the phrase "We could have had it all, rolling in the deep" over and over, which means that they could have had a great relationship but instead they are "rolling in the deep," which is a metaphor for being lost in their pain and misery. Haley also repeats the line "You had my heart inside of your hand, but you played it to the beat" to illustrate how her lover played games with her emotions.

I was set on the idea that Adele should never be covered, and then this happened. Haley is phenomenal.
@RafiNatapradja
Serena Gray surprise surprise
@toothpick4249
Probably the best to ever have graced the American Idol stage. She was and still is fantastic.
@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm
No, not at all. Top 10, sure. But no way is she better than Kelly, Carrie, JHud, Adam Lambert, etc.
@Bridgettefan231
Never understood how she landed in the bottom 3 with this, this was personally one of my favorite performances of the season.
@bulgiriri
Haley is great but Lauren was phenomenal !!
@laserbeam898
bulgiriri Lauren was actually not that great if you paid attention to her poor technique and safe picks. Haley also changed it up and never stayed in one horse all season while Lauren was pretty much predictable all season.
@rickydavis2794
