Lyrics of Hello by Adele
verse
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'm in 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
pre-chorus
There′s such a difference between us
And a million miles
chorus
Hello from the other side
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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
verse
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?
pre-chorus
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
chorus
So hello from the other side (other side)
I must′ve called a thousand times (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 (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (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
bridge
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Anymore (lows, lows, lows, lows)
chorus
Hello from the other side (other side)
I must′ve called a thousand times (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 (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I′ve tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
outro
But it don′t matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Writer(s): Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Gregory Allen Kurstin
