Adele's 30 Album Decoded: All Her Powerful Lyrics on Divorce, Love and Moving On
In this soulful serenade for her son, Adele tries to explain her breakup to her baby boy and acknowledge his point of view with lines like, "My little love / Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches? / When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks? / I wanted you to have everything I never had / I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad."
The star includes emotional voice memos talking to him and herself. "I love your dad 'cause he gave you to me," she tells him in one. "You're half me and you're half daddy." She previously told Oprah that she had been obsessed with the idea of a nuclear family her entire life because she didn't come from one. "I just from a very young age just promised myself that when I had kids that we'd stay together. We would be that united family," Adele said. "I was just so disappointed for my son. I was so disappointed for myself. I thought I was going to be the one that stopped doing those bloody patterns all the time.
As the chorus reminds her, "Cry your heart out, it'll clean your face/ When you're in doubt, go at your own pace." She previously told Oprah that, after her divorce, she initially "probably kept the alcohol industry alive, but once I realized I had a lot of work to do on myself, I stopped drinking."With its up-tempo pulsing beat, this song puts the listener in Adele's shoes as she dips her toes back into the dating pool while still trying to prioritize herself. "I'm a fool, but they all think I'm blind / I'd rather be a fool than leave myself behind," she sings.
