Cover art for Best for Last lyrics by Adele

i don't think its all that complicated, its just a scenario where she wants this person more because of the mistreatment, and at the same time she knows she shouldn't want it or need it but she still does - so there's the juxtaposition in the song from her being positive and in love, and on the contrary there's the negative side where she wants him to think she never wanted him in the first place; she used him. she desperately wants what she can't or shouldn't have. but then again, maybe i been hitting the pipe a little too hard.
