[Verse 1]
I built a house for a love to grow
I was so young that it was hard to know
I'm as lost now as I was back then
Always make a mess of everything
It's about time that I face myself
All I do is bleed into someone else
Painting walls with all my secret tears
Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears

[Pre-Chorus]
But oh my, oh my
I'll never learn if I never leap
I'll always yearn if I never speak

[Chorus]
To be loved and love at the highest count
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
It's a sacrifice, but I can't live a lie
Let it be known, let it be known that I tried

[Verse 2]
I'm so afraid, but I'm open wide
I'll be the one to catch myself this time
Tryna learn to lean into it all
Ain't it funny how the mighty fall?
Looking back, I don't regret a thing
Yeah, I took some bad turns that I am owning
I'll stand still and let the storm pass by
Keep my heart safe till the time feels right

[Pre-Chorus]
But oh my, oh my
I'll never learn if I never leap
I'll always yearn if I never speak

[Chorus]
To be loved and love at the highest count
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
It's a sacrifice, but I can't live a lie
Let it be known

[Bridge]
Let it be known that I cried for you
Even started lying to you
What a thing to do
All because I wanted

[Chorus]
To be loved and love at the highest count
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Let it be known, known, known
That I will choose, I will lose
It's a sacrifice, but I can't live a lie
Let it be known
Let it be known that I tried, that I tried
Let it be known that I tried

Adele

In this digital and single-driven age, it’s very difficult for artists to sell albums. Yet, this British singer-songwriter has managed to sell over 50 million units on the back of her two latest albums alone.

Known for her strong, unique vocal talents who also possesses a very down-to-earth persona, Adele Adkins, born on May 5, 1988, made her studio debut in 2008 with 19, which netted the artist two Grammy awards and earned her significant acclaim in the UK.

In early 2011, Adele released her sophomore album, 21, written in the aftermath of a tumultuous relationship and nasty break-up. The album has sold 35 million copies worldwide and is the 21st album of all time to be certified Diamond in the U.S. (10 million copies sold), a milestone achieved in less than two years after its release. At the 2012 Grammys, Adele took home six trophies including Song, Record, and Album of the Year, making her only the second artist in Grammys history to win all four General Field categories. To this day, 21 is the most successful album on the Billboard 200 ever.
