lyrics

Adèle, we've travelled through hell,
But you know that it wasn't intentional,
In fact my intentions were fair,
It's just that we aren't conventional,
And the empathy cupboard was bare,

Adèle, you wove me a spell,
Caught me up in the web of your certainty,
Made me fall in the fountain of youth,
If today was the start of eternity,
It would never be lacking in truth,

But it's almost as if you had never been born,
The politics ruins that beautiful morn,
And this movie's moral is no moral at all,
But the price of admission is dear,

Adèle, I knew you well,
Did you think that our lives would be easier?
Did you think that the shadow would fade?
Could the storyline get any cheesier?
Did you cancel the victory parade?

Adèle, I'll never tell,
The tales that we shared are memorials,
The roads that we travelled are sand,
We live among fierce territorials,
Who are ever defending their land,

And sometimes I see that it wasn't in doubt,
And I knew crystal clear what you were talking about,
Then it took me so high that the world became small,
And our tragedy just disappeared,

And how do we judge if we're right or we're wrong?
It's like judging the singer by judging the song,
And if it just happens that it falls on our side,
Then we leave this sad story behind,

Adèle, Adèle
