Rolling in the deepI I I I \ I I I I\There’s a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the darkFinally I can see you crystal clearGo head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of youDon’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitchAnd its bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of usThey keep me thinking that we almost had it allThe scars of your love they leave me breathlessI can’t help feelingWe could have had it allRolling in the deepYou had my heart inside of your handAnd you played itTo the beat

Baby I have no story to be toldBut I’ve heard one of youAnd I’m gonna make your head burnThink of me in the depths of your despairMaking a home down thereIt Reminds you of the home we shared

The scars of your love remind me of usThey keep me thinking that we almost had it allThe scars of your love they leave me breathlessI can’t help feelingWe could have had it allRolling in the deepYou had my heart inside of your handAnd you played itTo the beat

Throw your soul through every open doorCount your blessings to find what you look forTurned my sorrow into treasured goldYou pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it allWe could have had it allIt all, it all it all,We could have had it allRolling in the deepYou had my heart inside of your handAnd you played itTo the beat
