Adele - Running in the deep

For my first article in the "music" section, I couldn't not start with Adele!

1) Read the lyrics and see where the gaps are
2) Listen to the music
3) Listen again and try to fill the gaps
4) Listen again to check
5) Check your answers here.
6) Check the meaning of key phrases here.
6) Listen one last time and sing along with the lyrics.

FAQ
Do I have to sing? 
Yes, it's an absolute obligation

How will you know, you can't see me.
Oh, but I can...

Why?
Now, that's the interesting part. Not only is it fun, but it's actually important for your pronunciation and rhythm. It doesn't matter if you have a nice singing voice or the voice of an old and terrible witch. What matters is that as you sing, your pronounce words the way you believe they are pronounced and at the same time, you hear them the way they should be pronounced. So that's a perfect way for your brain to pick up any pronunciation mistake you make, on your own, without me telling you. Isn't that amazing? 

I don't like Adele
I don't believe you. But if it's true then just wait for my next musical article. If you think I have horrible musical tastes, you can suggest songs to me via my contact form :)


Lyrics

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's 
__________ me out the dark.
Finally, I can see you  __________ clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,

See how I'll leave with 
__________piece of you,
Don't underestimate the 
__________ that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.

The scars of your love __________me of us,
They keep me thinking that we 
__________ had it all.
The scars of your love, they __________ me breathless,
I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart 
__________ your hand,
And you played it to the beat.

Baby, I have no __________ to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna 
__________ your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared?

The scars of your love __________me of us,
They keep me thinking that we 
__________ had it all.
The scars of your love, they 
__________ me breathless,
I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart 
__________ your hand,
And you played it to the beat.

Throw your soul through __________ open door,
Count your blessings to 
__________ what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown.

We could have had it all,
We could have had it all.
It all, it all, it all.

We could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart 
__________ of your hand,
And you played it to the beat.
