There is something about that hauntingly beautiful voice that makes us all stop to listen to what Adele has to say. Stories about love, and the loss of it. Songs that put into words everything we didn't know how to say. These lyrics are sure to stir up some emotions an bring up some old memories.

"Once upon a time I fell in love with the wrong person."
We've all been there. Maybe it was the wrong person. Maybe it was the wrong time. But regardless we've all been in that relationship that wasn't meant to be, and no mater how badly we wanted to make it work we just couldn't, and it hurt like nothing else we've ever known when it was over.

"They says that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing."
Whenever something tragic happens to you everyone always says the same thing. "Things will get better with time." Admittedly sometimes they are right, but there is always that one scar that never fades. Maybe we can ignore it for a while. Maybe we can even pretend that it never happened, but when things settle down and we are all alone, those memories and those emotions come creeping back in like an old unwanted friend.

"I know I'd never be me without the security of your loving arms keeping me from harm."
The family that supported you through all of your soccer practices and various phases that you went through as you were growing up, the family that stayed up helping you study for you biology test in high school and the ones who had tears in their eyes as they drove back home after moving you into college are what made you who you are today. They held you when you cried. They smiled when you laughed. They deserve a lot more recognition than they got, but your happiness is all it takes to make it all worth it. Mom, Dad, thank you.

"I can't help feeling that we could have had it all.."
Maybe it is a relationship, or maybe just an old friendship, but we all have that one relationship that leaves us wondering. Wondering if things could have lead to something more with the guy you sat beside in English. Maybe it was that girl who was your BFF in high school that you felt like you could have conquered the world with, and now you two don't speak. Regardless of what it was, or who it was, we all have question marks in our lives.
