Unless you've been living under a rock (and honestly, even if you have), you've heard Adele's new make-you-bawl-your-eyes-out single "Hello." The woman has done it again. She's peered into our heartbroken souls and pulled out the most accurate, gut-wrenching lyrics imaginable. After much self-reflection, and the song on repeat well over 100 times, I have dissected/translated the lyrics in an attempt to figure out why this song speaks to our souls and makes us so vulnerable... Cue the tears.

Hello, it's me.

I know this comes as a shock. Please, please don't hang up, I'm really trying here.

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything.

I have a lot on my mind that I need to say to you, and it will be on my mind until it's off my chest. Can we meet up?

They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing.

Time heals all wounds? Ha! Lies. I still think about you more than I should and can't seem to completely get over you no matter how hard I try or how much I pretend.

Hello, can you hear me?

Are you still there? Are you following me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be when we were younger and free.

It's been enough time that I forget the things about you that frustrate me. I keep remembering the good. I miss you. I miss us. I miss how carefree we were and how you made me feel.

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet.

I've forgotten how it feels to fall in love. I've forgotten why we aren't together anymore.

There's such a difference between us and a million miles.

So much has changed. You're so far away from me now. I feel like I'm losing you...

Hello from the other side.

I hope you're really opening up and listening to me. I'm being vulnerable right now. I need to make you understand.

I must've called a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done.

I've tried to do this time and time again, but I haven't been able to. I am sorry. So very sorry. For everything. Please forgive me.

But when I call you never seem to be home.

I understand you don't want to hear from me.

Hello from the outside.

Hi. Just give me a chance.

At least I can say that I've tried to tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart.

I'm truly, truly sorry I ended things. I could never tell you enough times. I never meant to hurt you.

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.

You're moving on. But my heart's still broken. How the hell did I manage to break my own heart?

Hello, how are you?

Have I blown it yet? Do you think I'm crazy? I promise I'm not...

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I always talk about me. Can we talk about you? Tell me everything.

I hope that you're well.

I really hope you're doing well. I care about you more than you know.

Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

All of your dreams we used to talk about, I hope you've accomplished them. How have you been? I miss knowing all about your life. I miss being your person.

It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time.

It's no secret that we're growing further and further apart by the day.

So hello from the other side.

So this is me reaching out.

I must've called a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done.

I'm truly sorry. This is all my fault.

But when I call you never seem to be home.

I know I shouldn't be doing this to you. You need space. You need time.

Hello from the outside.

But I now know I don't want space. I don't want time. I made a mistake.

At least I can say that I've tried to tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart.

I'm sorry. So, so sorry.

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.

Are you really 100 percent over me?

Listen and weep, my friends:
