Adele – Melt My Heart To Stone lyrics
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 pretendings
Which forgive you
Each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart
To stone

[Chorus:]
And I hear your words
That I made up
You say my name
Like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head
I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Each and every time
I turn around to leave
I feel my heart
Begin to burst
And bleed
So desperately
I try to link it
With my head
But instead
I fall back
To my knees
As you tear your way
Right through me
I forgive you
Once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt
My heart to stone

[Chorus:]

Why do you
Steal my hand
Whenever
I'm standing
My own ground
You build me up
Then leave me dead

Well

[Chorus:]

    At the start she says that there is air made of bricks beneath her feet. I assume what she meant here is that everytime she thinks that everything is goin fine between her and the one she loves, he disappoints and she is no longer on a high. There and then there is a sudden drop in her emotions. The bircks can also be representative of the difficulty and "hard"-ship she goes through in trying to comprehend and deal with the entire situation.
    In terms of her repeating the words "melt my heart to stone": this can be her way of say that he has broken her heart so many times that her heart turn into a solid even tougher to break through than stone. But everytime he comes back it melts again, but back to stone. Symbolizing that she has not totally fallen head over heels in love with him again but has used some defense mechanism, just in case he disappoints once more.

Adele talks about real life issues her music is touching 2 me and I'm only 16 she should have an award from every american award show best album, songs ect.

    When you love someone so much it hurts and they just can't reciprocate. You want to them to care and love but you just can't make them no matter what you do. And everytime they have their excuses that no matter how lame they sound to you ur heart forces you to blv them because you want to blv that they actually like you back. The alternative is just too painful to deal with. Worst part is there is nth you can do bcz once he as much as say hi the sound of his voice makes you forget all the pain he's caused. You know its sad but you just can't stop. Sigh.

    My meaning to melt my heart to stone is when you love someone so much that you can gaze into there eyes all night and have a romantic night with someone, but then they always end up letting you down in the end. Kinda like that built you up and told you that loved you and needed you, and promised you guys would live happily together, which melts your heart, but then an hour later you see him flirting with another woman, now your heart is bruised and it's melted to stone.

    I think she wrote this song about me. Lol. But seriously. Its about a girl/boy that is head over hells in love! Like real love to the point that they are willing to wait for that other person to fall in love too. However, the othe person is still not readig to love them back or is just not interested but is tringing them along. They confuse them. Rollercoaster ride.

    I think it's about being head over heels for someone but not being sure if they feel the same("you say my name like there could be an us"). He's giving her mixed signals. Then she thinks that maybe she should forget about it("i best tidy up my head. I'm the only one in love"). That's how I feel about someone right now, and this song makes me think of them.

    It is actually a really sad song she is saying that even though she knows that she and him will never be together she imagines him saying her name like there could be couple out of the two of them. She knows that he is making her cold and not be able to feel anymore but she still goes back to him out of a habit that is very unhealthy. She forgives him even after everything he has done to her. I have done this before and it hurts and I know now that it was a mistake to ever like him or date him because he was bad for me. Like fire and ice, it just does not work.
