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 'head 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 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 Making a home down there 'cause mine sure won't be shared The scars of your love remind me of us (you're gonna wish you never had met me) They keep me thinking that we almost had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) 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) We could've had it all Rolling in the deep You had my heart inside 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 Turned my sorrow into treasured gold You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (You're gonna wish you never had met me) we could've had it all We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) It all, it all, it all, (you're gonna wish you never had met me) 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've 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) But you played it, you played it, you played it, you played it To the beat
