Didn't I give it all?
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less
Didn't I do it right? Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to having me 'round
Still how can you walk away
From all my tears
It's gonna be an empty road without me right here
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love

Maybe I should leave, to help you see
Nothing is better than this and this is everything we need
So is it over? Is this really it, you're giving up so easily
I thought you loved me more than this

But go on, go on, take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love

I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust
Oh if only, if only you knew
Everything I do, is for you

But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all, with my love
Take it all with my love
Take it all with my love

    General Comment:I saw her live a few nights ago and she said that this was the first song she wrote for the album. She wrote it right after she got done with a tour and she went into the studio and KNEW something was wrong, but tried to ignore it and this came out. She and the ex the whole album is about hadn't broken up yet, so this was just her pouring out her frustrations with the end of the relationship.

    General Comment:I think by her saying "all" is everything left. Take every emotion with you when you leave... "Take it all with my love."

    What a heartbreaking song.

    Lyric Correction:Oh and here is the entire song:

    Didn't I give it all?
    Tried my best,
    Gave you everything I had,
    Everything and no less,
    Didn't I do it right?
    Did I let you down?

    Maybe you got too used to,
    Having me around,
    Still, how can you walk away,
    From all my tears?
    It's gonna be an empty road,
    Without me right here,

    But go on and take it,
    Take it all with you,
    Don't look back,
    At this crumbling fool,
    Just take it all,
    With my love,
    Take it all,
    With my love,

    Maybe I should leave,
    To help you see,
    Nothing is better than this,
    And this is everything we need,
    So is it over?
    Is this really it?
    You're giving up so easily,
    I thought you loved me more than this,

    But go on, go on and take it,
    Take it all with you,
    Don't look back,
    At this crumbling fool,
    Just take it all,
    With my love,
    Take it all,
    With my love,

    I will change if I must,
    Slow it down and bring it home,
    I will adjust,
    Oh, if only,
    If only you knew,
    Everything I do is for you,

    But go on, go on and take it,
    Take it all with you,
    Don't look back,
    At this crumbling fool,
    Just take it,
    Take it all with you,
    Don't look back,
    At this crumbling fool,
    Just take it all,
    With my love,
    Take it all,
    With my love,
    Take it all,
    With my love.

    General Comment:Love this song. I think it's pretty straightforward. She gave him everything she had and basically treated him like a king and he dumped her. So basically she is confused why he dumped her and it has left her really destroyed. And she kind of says that he will be sorry that he dumped her because he didn't appreciate her. And she begs him to reconsider and that she will work even harder to make him happy. I love how Adele's songs are relatively simple but the emotions conveyed are so complicated, especially for the # of lyrics she uses.
