"Rolling in the Deep" songwriters Adele and Paul Richard Epworth, 2010

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring 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'll 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 bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking 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 your hand
And you played it to the beat

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 won't be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us
They keep me thinking 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
~~~~ Chorus ~~~~
And 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 pay me back in kind and reap what you sow

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
~~~~ Chorus ~~~~
But you played it , played it, played it to the beat

Adele and  Daniel Dodd Wilson cowrote "Someone Like You", Adele 21

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
~~~~ stanza omitted

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
~~~~ Chorus ~
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste

~~~~ Chorus ~~~~
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
<x2>

The past 4 years have been especially cathartic in a steamroll kind of way, the Denver way - you know - when a small snowball at the top of a really long hill starts to gain momentum as it rolls down, collecting white powder, bits of debris and getting bigger and bigger until its huge and when it gets to the finale, its explosive and causes a significant unalterable rift in time and space,
Does anyone hear the explosion of this immense accumulation of stuff that breaks away down the mountain especially if noone would be there to witness ?? I think the ripples in the time and space are felt inside on some molecular level where we are all connected - sort of like how synaptic connections are made through the mind/body on a chemical level --- a trigger occurs, the reaction begins a chain of  events, then the laws of equal and opposite reactions take place in succession until eventually there is a cataclysmic ending of ???
ohhh yes ... it definitely was F E L T
As the smile spread wide and the bright exuberant eyes held only those of the One, the disembodied detached look was unmistakeable - that look so familiar and burned into an avalanche of memories no longer raw or even ragged ... healed ? ? ?  Mostly ~  the scar tissue is tender and may not ever really get tough, how could it with all the reminders and that is quite okay
~ "no worries or cares ~ Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made ~ Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste"  
~~~~ " Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead "
" You know how the time flies ~ only yesterday was the time of our lives ~ We were born and raised in a summers haze ~ Bound by the surprise of our golden days"
 For me its finally over, and I do wish nothing but the best for you.
