Cover art for Melt My Heart to Stone lyrics by Adele

This song is about a couple and he is always hurting her.

Right under my feet there’s air made of bricks Pulls me down turns me weak for you I find myself repeating like a broken tune And I’m forever excusing your intentions And I give in to my pretendings Which forgive you each time Without me knowing They melt my heart to stone

He hurts her time and time again, but she believes he will change eventualy so she takes him back. But slowly his actions are turning her heart hard or :stone".

And I hear your words that I made up You say my name like there could be an us I best tidy up my head I’m the only one in love I’m the only one in love

He is a sweet talker to get back with her but in reality she is the only one in love in this relationship

Each and every time I turn around to leave I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed So desperately I try to link it with my head But instead I fall back to my knees As you tear your way right through me I forgive you once again Without me knowing You’ve burnt my heart to stone

She is trying to get out of the situation by leaving. But she gives in "fall back to my knees" and comes back to him.

Why do you steal my hand Whenever I’m standing my own ground You build me up, then leave me dead

She finally stands up and defends herself but like a repeating record he gets her to trust him "steal my hand". But surprise surprise he strings her along thinking things will change and he hurts her again leaving her "dead".
