Adele

Four cold walls against my will

At least I know she's lying still

Four cold walls without parole

Lord have mercy on my soul

All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean I meant it,
People say crazy things

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I cant bear this time
It drags on as I lose my mind
Reminded by things I find
Like notes and clothes you left behind

I heard his voice today
I didn't know a single word he said
Not one resemblance to the man I met
Just a vacant broken boy instead

Day is coming we won't be apart
Hope you realize you got my heart

Blank stairs blank pages, no easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me,

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, 

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

We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days, 

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste?

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end and
It's been waiting for you to open up

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops,
and my back begins to tingle
finally could this be it


You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

And every time I’m meant to be acting sensible
you drift into my head
and turn me into a crumbling fool.

Pacing floors and opening doors,
hoping you’ll walk through
and save me boy,
because I’m too crazy for you.
Crazy for you

Right under my feet there’s air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune 
And I’m forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretending

So little to say but so much time,
despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.

Forgive me first love, but I’m tired.
I need to get away to feel again.
Try to understand why, don’t get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it’s bribing me to doubt myself;
simply, it’s tiring.

When the rain is blowing in your face,
and the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to make you feel my love.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
to make you feel my love

I thought I knew myself, somehow you know me more
I've never known this, never before 

Favouritism ain't my thing but,in this situation I'll be glad to make an exception

You said I'm stubborn and I never give in
I think you're stubborn 'cept you're always softening
You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that 

I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides...
