Rolling in the Deep
Jonathan Groff & Lea Michele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a fire starting in my heart
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 ship 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
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring 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 (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)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And it's 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 (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)
And you played it
With a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
Pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (you're gonna wish you never had met me)

Yeah, 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)
Aye, we could have had it all (rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)
You 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 your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played
And you played




And you played
And you played it to the beat
