First off, Adele is an amazing artist. Her songs come straight from the heart. This song could be interpreted in any way. I think Adele is talking about being emotionally abused. "I can't keep up with your turning tables." The guy "seduces" a woman by the way he looks and acts. Once he has her, he treats her poorly. When the woman wants to leave "It's time to say goodbye to turning tables", the guy then goes back to what he did to have her. "I won't let you close enough to hurt me. I can't give you what you think you gave me." The woman becomes more conserved and cautious. "Next time I'll be braver. I'll be my own saviour standing on my own two feet." Next time she is going be strong and leave him. She will do what makes her happy. "It's time to say goodbye to turning tables."
