Rolling in the Deep
The Ukuleles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
Go 'head 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
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
(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)
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 (woah)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
(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)

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
You played it




You played it
You played it to the beat.

Line by Line Meaning

There's a fire starting in my heart
I am feeling an intense emotion inside my heart


Reaching a fever pitch
It keeps intensifying


And it's bringing me out the dark
It's making me realize some things that were hidden before


Finally I can see you crystal clear
I can see you for who you really are


Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
If you betray me, I will expose your secrets


See how I leave with every piece of you
I am taking away everything you have


Don't underestimate the things that I will do
You shouldn't underestimate my determination and capability


The scars of your love remind me of us
The marks of your love symbolize our relationship


They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
They make me wonder what could have been


The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
The remnants of your love leave me emotionally drained


We could have had it all
Our relationship could have been everything


(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
You will regret ever coming into my life


Rolling in the deep
I am immersed in my emotions, with no way out


(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I will be crying for a long time, trapped in my emotions


You had my heart inside of your hand
You had all my love and trust


And you played it, to the beat
But you used it for your own agenda


Baby, I have no story to be told
I have nothing to hide


But I've heard one on you
But I know some secrets about you


And I'm gonna make your head burn
I will use these secrets to make you suffer


Think of me in the depths of your despair
When you are most miserable, remember me


Make a home down there
Let your despair consume you, make it your new home


As mine sure won't be shared
I will not share in your despair


Throw your soul through every open door (woah)
Take every opportunity you have


Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Be grateful for what you have, it may be what you're searching for


Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
I will turn my pain into something valuable


You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
You will face the consequences of your actions


It all, it all, it all
It's all gone


But you played it
But you manipulated the situation


You played it to the beat
You acted according to your own rhythm
