When it comes to anger, which by the way is today’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday, for me, no one expresses it like Adele does. You can express your anger in so many ways, but to be subtle and mean is an art, which I can never perfect. So, I give you ‘Rumor has it’ by Adele, one of my ever favorites.
Lyrics from A-Z Lyrics
Owwwwh [repeats]
She, she ain’t real,
She ain’t gonna be able to love you like I will,
She is a stranger,
You and I have history,
Or don’t you remember?
Sure, she’s got it all,
But, baby, is that really what you want?Bless your soul, you’ve got your head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she’s bringing you down,
She made your heart melt,
But you’re cold to the core,
Now rumor has it she ain’t got your love anymore,Rumor has it (rumor) [x8]
She is half your age,
But I’m guessing that’s the reason that you stayed,
I heard you’ve been missing me,
You’ve been telling people things you shouldn’t be,
Like when we creep out and she ain’t around,
Haven’t you heard the rumors?(Bless your soul!)
Bless your soul, you’ve got your head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of me,
And, boy, you’re bringing me down,
You made my heart melt, yet I’m cold to the core,
But rumor has it I’m the one you’re leaving her for,Rumor has it (rumor) [x8]
All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just ’cause I said it, it don’t mean that I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just ’cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it,
Just ’cause you heard it,Rumor has it (rumor) [x14]
But rumor has it he’s the one I’m leaving you for.
Posting it for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday.
This song is so perfect. I totally agree about Adele. I almost posted Set Fire to the Rain. She just has the most perfect lyrics for the subtle anger that you feel when you break up with someone. Thanks so much for sharing it. Love it!

I first chose Set Fire too but then went with this one at the last minute 🙂 More sassy.

Love this one. She really knows how to write and perform a strong breakup song. She has helped me a great deal the last five or six years, ever since Rolling in the Deep came out. Excellent choice for Song Lyric Sunday.

Thank you 🙂 Her songs helped me too when it mattered. And this song was one of them. Feels good just singing it out loud sometimes.
