Adele and Bruno Mars' "All I Ask" Gives the Entire Internet All the Feels

By Liz Rowley November 20, 2015

Adele's much anticipated third studio album, 25, was released Friday. In it, she does what she does best — cuts to the core of her audience with human ballads charged with sentimentality. One track in particular, "All I Ask," which she wrote with Bruno Mars, tugged on the heartstrings of fans everywhere.

"I will leave my heart at the door," Adele sings. "I won't say a word/ They've all been said before/ So why don't we just play pretend/ Like we're not scared of what's coming next or scared of having nothing left."

With "All I Ask," Adele and Mars have clearly hit a nerve. Though Adele splays her heart across all the tracks, "All I Ask" leaves listeners with a solid sense of accepting love lost, and dredges up the dreadful finality that resignation brings with it. However, the lyrics drop listeners right into the quiet moments that precede resigning to the end of a liaison. In essence, the song arrives at an emotional plane that's devastating yet utterly relatable.

Reacting to "All I Ask," Adele fans on Twitter were beside themselves.

if you want to break your own heart then listen to Adele-'All I Ask'

Adele - All I Ask, it's just so so so sad I can feel my body aching when i hear the song.

Adele just ripped out my soul and stomped on it then shredded it then threw it in the garbage with "All I Ask"

Adele's "All I Ask" is amazing

"Now, don't get me wrong," Adele continues on the track. "I know there is no tomorrow/ If this is my last night with you/ Hold me like I'm more than just a friend/ Give me a memory I can use/ Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do/ It matters how this ends.

"'Cause what if I never love again?" she adds, as listeners fumble for tissues.

All I Ask Lyrics (Adele)

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
