Rolling in the Deep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' 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'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' 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 to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
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 to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door (Wohh ho ho oh)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (Wohh oh oh oh)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Wohh ho ho oh)
You'll 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)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
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, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat

There's a fire
Starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch,
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 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.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
Baby, I have
No story to be told
But I've heard one on you.
And I'm gonna make your head burn.
Think of me
In the depths of your despair.
Make 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.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
But you played it with a beating.
Throw your soul
Through every open door.
Count your blessings
To find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold.
You'll pay me back in kind
And reap just what you sow.
We could have had it all.
We could have had it all.
It all, it all, it all.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.
