      Her writing was more complex with her earlier albums. "Go easy on me baby, i was still a child, didn't get a chance to feel the world around me" is really not a lyrical miracle especially knowing she was practically a grown woman in that period she supposedly sings about 🤷‍♂️...or "when I call you never seem to be home" lol...if it wasn't Adele you would think it could have been written by any teenager out there

    To Be Loved is my faaaaavorite Adele song. It’s so gut wrenching and I relate so much to it.

    I have been a fan of her since I was 10 yo and now I'm 21 and as my life is changing I relate to her lyrics more and more I love that about her music is so moving and easy to relate to but also so deep I can't believe she was 21 when she wrote someone like you, she really is a true talent

    “It matters how this ends” really cut deep when that song come out.
    I knew that my relationship was ending, and I was so in love with my boyfriend, but our relationship was so toxic, we couldn’t stay together.
    I didn’t want it to end badly. My relationship with my first real love had ended pretty brutally and it’s a scar than never really goes away. I was terrified of going through another bitter breakup.
    I felt like our relationship deserved better than that after everything that we had been through.
