HELLO

(Adele Adkins, Greg Kurstin)

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

To go over everything

They say that time's supposed to heal ya

But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger and free

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

I hope that you're well

Did you ever make it out of that town

Where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret that the both of us

Are running out of time

So hello from the other side (other side)

I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside (outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows)

Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows)

Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows)

Ooh, anymore

(Highs, highs, highs, highs, lows, lows, lows, lows)

Anymore

Hello from the other side (other side)

I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside (outside)

At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

SEND MY LOVE (TO YOUR NEW LOVER)

(Adkins, Max Martin, Shellback)

This was all you, none of it me

You put your hands all over my body and told me (hmm)

You told me you were ready

For the big one, for the big jump

I'd be your last love everlasting, you and me (hmm)

That was what you told me

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free

Send my love to your new lover

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

I was too strong, you were trembling

You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising) (hmm)

Baby, I'm so rising

I was running, you were walking

You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down) (hmm)

There's only one way down

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free, oh

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready

If you're ready, I am ready

If you're ready, if you're ready

We both know we ain't kids no more

No, we ain't kids no more

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)

If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

I MISS YOU

(Adele Adkins, Paul Epworth)

I want every single piece of you

I want your heaven and your oceans too

Treat me soft, but touch me cruel

I wanna teach you things you never knew, oh, baby

Bring the floor up to my knees

Let me fall into your gravity

And kiss me back to life to see

Your body standing over me

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Lights go down, lights go down

Lights go down, lights go down

Down, down, down

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

I love the way your body moves

Towards me from across the room

Brushing past my every groove

No one has me like you do, oh

Baby, bring your heart, I'll bring my soul

But be delicate with my ego

I wanna step into your great unknown

With you and me setting the tone

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Baby, don't let the lights go down

Lights go down, lights go down

Lights go down, lights go down

Down, down, down

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

We play so dirty in the dark

'Cause we are living worlds apart

It only makes it harder baby

It only makes it harder baby

Harder baby, harder baby

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

I miss you when the lights go out

It illuminates all of my doubts

Pull me in, hold me tight

Don't let go, baby give me light

I miss you, I miss you

I miss you, I miss you

I miss you, I miss you

I miss you, I miss you

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

(Adele Adkins, Tobias Jeso, Jr.)

Everybody loves the things you do

From the way you talk

To the way you move

Everybody here is watching you

'Cause you feel like home

You're like a dream come true

But if by chance you're here alone

Can I have a moment

Before I go?

'Cause I've been by myself all night long

Hoping you're someone I used to know

You look like a movie

You sound like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

I was so scared to face my fears

'Cause nobody told me that you'd be here

And I swear you moved overseas

That's what you said, when you left me

You still look like a movie

You still sound like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

It's hard to admit that

Everything just takes me back

To when you were there

To when you were there

And a part of me keeps holding on

Just in case it hasn't gone

I guess I still care

Do you still care?

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

Oh, I'm so mad, I'm getting old

It makes me reckless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

When we were young

REMEDY

(Adele Adkins, Ryan Tedder)

I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be

So desperate to find a way out of my world and finally breathe

Right before my eyes I saw, my heart it came to life

This ain't easy, it's not meant to be

Every story has its scars

But when the pain cuts you deep

When the night keeps you from sleeping

Just look and you will see

That I will be your remedy

When the world seems so cruel

And your heart makes you feel like a fool

I promise you will see

That I will be, I will be your remedy

Oh, oh

No river is too wide or too deep for me to swim to you

Come whenever I'll be the shelter that won't let the rain come through

Your love, it is my truth

And I will always love you

Love you, love you

But when the pain cuts you deep

When the night keeps you from sleeping

Just look and you will see

That I will be your remedy

When the world seems so cruel

And your heart makes you feel like a fool

I promise you will see

That I will be, I will be your remedy

Oh, oh

WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE

(Adele Adkins, Greg Kurstin)

If you're not the one for me

Then how come I can bring you to your knees?

If you're not the one for me

Why do I hate the idea of being free?

And if I'm not the one for you

You've gotta stop holding me the way you do

Oh, honey if I'm not the one for you

Why have we been through what we have been through?

It's so cold out here in your wilderness

I want you to be my keeper

But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

Woah, woah

Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

What are you waiting for?

You never seem to make it through the door

And who are you hiding from?

It ain't no life to live like you're on the run

Have I ever asked for much?

The only thing that I want is your love

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

Woah, woah

Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

It's so cold in your wilderness

I want you to be my keeper

But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently

Don't pretend that you don't want me

Our love ain't water under the bridge

Woah, woah (say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

(Say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

(Say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

Woah, woah (say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

(Say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

(Say it ain't so, say it ain't so)

Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

RIVER LEA

(Adele Adkins, Brian Burton)

Everybody tells me it's about time that I moved on

And I need to learn to lighten up and how to be young

But my heart is a valley, It's so shallow and man made

I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake

Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch

But I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough

When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea

There was something in the water, now that something's in me

Oh, I can't go back, but the reeves are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river

But it's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

It's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

I should probably tell you now before it's way too late

That I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face

Consider this my apology, I know it's years in advance

But I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance

No I can't go back, but the reeves are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river!

But it's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

It's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

River Lea, River Lea

River Lea, River Lea

River Lea, River Lea

River Lea, River Lea

The River Lea

The River Lea

The River Lea

The River Lea

LOVE IN THE DARK

(Adele Adkins, Samuel Dixon)

Take your eyes off me so I can leave

I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me

This is never ending, we have been here before

But I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore

Please, stay where you are

Don't come any closer

Don't try to change my mind

I'm being cruel to be kind

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Maybe we're already defeated

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

You have given me something that I can't live without

You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt

But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine

The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight

Please, don't fall apart

I can't face your breaking heart

I'm trying to be brave

Stop asking me to stay

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Maybe we're already defeated

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

We're not the only ones

I don't regret a thing

Every word I've said

You know I'll always mean

It is the world to me

That you are in my life

But I want to live

And not just survive

That's why I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Maybe we're already defeated

'Cause ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everything changed me

I-I-I-I-I don't think you can save me

MILLION YEARS AGO

(Adele Adkins, Greg Kurstin)

I only wanted to have fun

Learning to fly, learning to run

I let my heart decide the way

When I was young

Deep down I must have always known

That this would be inevitable

To earn my stripes I'd have to pay

And bear my soul

I know I'm not the only one

Who regrets the things they've done

Sometimes I just feel it's only me

Who can't stand the reflection that they see

I wish I could live a little more

Look up to the sky, not just the floor

I feel like my life is flashing by

And all I can do is watch and cry

I miss the air, I miss my friends

I miss my mother; I miss it when

Life was a party to be thrown

But that was a million years ago

When I walk around all of the streets

Where I grew up and found my feet

They can't look me in the eye

It's like they're scared of me

I try to think of things to say

Like a joke or a memory

But they don't recognize me now

In the light of day

I know I'm not the only one

Who regrets the things they've done

Sometimes I just feel it's only me

Who never became who they thought they'd be

I wish I could live a little more

Look up to the sky, not just the floor

I feel like my life is flashing by

And all I can do is watch and cry

I miss the air, I miss my friends

I miss my mother, I miss it when

Life was a party to be thrown

But that was a million years ago

A million years ago

ALL I ASK

(Adele Adkins, Bruno Mars, Ari Levine, Christopher Brown)

I will leave my heart at the door

I won't say a word

They've all been said before, you know

So why don't we just play pretend

Like we're not scared of what's coming next

Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong

I know there is no tomorrow

All I ask is

If this is my last night with you

Hold me like I'm more than just a friend

Give me a memory I can use

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

'Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty

It's already in your eyes and I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me

No one knows me like you do

And since you're the only one that matters, tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong

I know there is no tomorrow

All I ask is

If this is my last night with you

Hold me like I'm more than just a friend

Give me a memory I can use

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

'Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love

Let this be the way we remember us

I don't wanna be cruel or vicious

And I ain't asking for forgiveness

All I ask is

If this is my last night with you

Hold me like I'm more than just a friend

Give me a memory I can use

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

'Cause what if I never love again?

SWEETEST DEVOTION

(Adele Adkins, Paul Epworth)

With your loving, there ain't nothing

That I can't adore

The way I'm running with you, honey

Means we can break every law

I find it funny that you're the only

One I never looked for

There is something in your loving

That tears down my walls

I wasn't ready then, I'm ready now

I'm heading straight for you

You will only be eternally

The one that I belong to

The sweetest devotion

Hit me like an explosion

All of my life, I've been frozen

The sweetest devotion I know

Ooh, oooh

Ooh, oooh

Ooh, oooh

Ooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

I'll forever be whatever you want me to be

I'll go under and all over for your clarity

When you wonder if I'm gonna lose my way home

Just remember, that come whatever, I'll be yours all alone

I wasn't ready then, I'm ready now

I'm heading straight for you

You will only be eternally

The one that I belong to

The sweetest devotion

Hit me like an explosion

All of my life, I've been frozen

The sweetest devotion I know

Ooh, oooh

Ooh, oooh

I've been looking for you, baby

In every face that I've ever known (ooh, oooh, oooh, ooh)

And there is something 'bout the way you love me

That finally feels like home (ooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, ooh)

You're my light, you're my darkness

You're the right kind of madness

And you're my hope, you're my despair

You're my scope of everything, everywhere

The sweetest devotion

Hit me like an explosion

All of my life, I've been frozen

The sweetest devotion I know

Ooh, oooh

Ooh, oooh

Sweetest, it's the sweetest (ooh, oooh)

Sweetest, it's the sweetest (ooh, oooh)

Sweetest, it's the sweetest (ooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, ooh)

Sweetest, it's the sweetest devotion (ooh, oooh)

¡¡¡bis bald!!!
