Adele - River Lea lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on

And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young

But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man made

I'm scared to death if I let u in that you'll see I'm just a fake

Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of ur touch

But I know that's just me cause nothin' eva is enough

When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea

There was somethin' in the water, now that somethin' is in me

Oh, I can't go back, but the reeds are growin' out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river

(Chorus)

But it's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

But it's in my roots, it's in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain

(Post-Chorus)

So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea

(Verse 2)

I should probably tell u now before it's way too late

That I neva meant to hurt u or lie straight to ur face

Consider this my apology, I know it's years in advance

But I'd rather say it now in case I neva get the chance

No I can't go back, but the reeds are growin' out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

(Outro x6)

River Lea, River Lea
