Adele - Don't You Remember
When will I see you again
You left with no goodbye
Not a single a word was said
No final kiss to seal any sins
I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart
And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head
[Chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
When was the last time
You thought of me
Or have you completely erased me from your memory
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do the less I know
I know I have a fickle heart
And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head
[Chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hope that you find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,
[Chorus]
Why don't you remember?
Don't your remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
When will I see you again?
“Don’t You Remember” the fourth track on Adele’s 21, follows Adele through her admission of her own personal flaws as she finds herself begging her ex-lover to recall why he initially fell in love with her. Adele became increasingly aware that her bitterness after the break-up negatively altered her perspective of the relationship and her ex-lover which fueled the creation of this song. “You know when you forget why you loved someone? I was just thinking about how my entire body would just shiver if my ex touched me to say hello. It’s sad when you can’t remember why you loved someone.” - Adele, The Sun.
