I agree that the song is about a woman who hasn't confessed her feelings to someone. She is definitely in love with said person. ("This ain't lust, this is love but...")
It doesn't matter who knows about her feelings. There's only one person who absolutely needs to know, and that is the man himself ("If I tell the world, I'll never say enough, because it was not said to you")
She then goes on to ask herself if things will ever go anywhere, or if the relationship is doomed to failure before it even begins ("Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements even if it leads nowhere")
As well, she wonders if she'll put up with the cosequences of telling him she loves him ("Even if I knew my place,would I leave it there?") If he rejects her, would she leave him alone or keep trying to win his heart?
She tries to convince herself that he loves her back ("I'd build myself up, and fly around in circles") but ultimately she doesn't really know how he feels about her.
This is one of my favourite songs. It's very beautiful and Adele has a very haunting voice, I find. It also describes my life perfectly right now, which is why I listen to it all the time. :)
OMG you just made me realise how appropriate this song is to my life ATM
I was just looking at the lyrics because it is a brilliant song but now your comment shows this song is exactly how i feel about a girl i like
