Lyrics

There's a fire burning in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch

And it's bringing me out of the dark

Finally I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out

And I'll lay your shit bare

See how I will leave with every part of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

Ah there's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch

And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us

It keeps me thinking we almost had it all

The scars of your love it keeps me breathless

I can't help thinking

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)

But 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 of you

And I'm gonna make your head burn, whoa

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Making a home down there

As mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us

It keeps me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love keep me breathless

I can't help thinking

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)

Yeah, but you played it to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

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)

Ah but you played it to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

To the beat, beat, beat, beat

Throw your soul through every open door

Count your blessings

To find what you look for

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold

You'll pay me back in kind

And reap just what you sow

(You know that there ain't no mountain high enough)

Ah

I'm stayin' with ya

(Ain't no valley low enough)

I ain't goin'

Yeah, ain't no river, river high enough

(Ain't no river wide enough)

(To keep me from getting to you babe)

There ain't no mountain, there ain't no river

(You know that there ain't no mountain high enough)

Yeah

There ain't no mountain high enough

(Ain't no valley low enough)

If you gotta travel I'll be there, oh baby

(Ain't no river wide enough)

(To keep me from getting to you babe)

Yes, I will

We could've had it all

Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand boy

But you played it

To the beat

(Rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Party, party, party

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

I'm stayin' with you, yes I am

(You're gonna wish you rolling in the deep)

Oh

Oh yeah

Oh come on

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
