ADELE - HELLO
Hello It's Me
I Was Wondering If After All These Years
You'd Like To Meet, To Go Over Everything
They Say That Time's Supposed To Heal Ya
But I Ain't Done Much Healing
Hello Can You Hear Me?
I've Been California Dreaming About Who We Used To Be
When We Were Younger And Free
I've Forgotten How It Felt Before The World Fell At Our Feet
There's Such A Difference Between Us
And A Million Miles
Hello From The Other Side
I Must've Called A Thousand Times
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Everything That I've Done
But When I Call You Never Seem To Be Home
Hello From The Outside
At Least I Can Say That I've Tried
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Breaking Your Heart
But It Don't Matter, It Clearly Doesn't Tear You Apart Anymore
Hello, How Are You?
It's So Typical Of Me To Talk About Myself, I'm Sorry
I Hope That You're Well
Did You Ever Make It Out Of That Town
Where Nothing Ever Happened?
It's No Secret
That The Both Of Us Are Running Out Of Time
So Hello From The Other Side
I Must've Called A Thousand Times
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Everything That I've Done
But When I Call You Never Seem To Be Home
Hello From The Outside
At Least I Can Say That I've Tried
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Breaking Your Heart
But It Don't Matter, It Clearly Doesn't Tear You Apart Anymore
Oooooh, Anymore
Oooooh, Anymore
Oooooh, Anymore
Anymore
Hello From The Other Side
I Must've Called A Thousand Times
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Everything That I've Done
But When I Call You Never Seem To Be Home
Hello From The Outside
At Least I Can Say That I've Tried
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Breaking Your Heart
But It Don't Matter, It Clearly Doesn't Tear You Apart Hello From The Other Side
I Must've Called A Thousand Times
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Everything That I've Done
But When I Call You Never Seem To Be Home
Hello From The Outside
At Least I Can Say That I've Tried
To Tell You I'm Sorry, For Breaking Your Heart
But It Don't Matter, It Clearly Doesn't Tear You Apart Anymore
