The Weeknd Adaptation
When the sun comes up, you're searching for a love So your heart won't lead you to anyone When the sun goes down, I know what you become You become awake, unlike the rest of us I lay my head on a thousand beds It's been a test to see how far a man Can go without himself I think I lost the only piece that held it all in place Now my madness is the only love I let myself embrace I could've stayed But I chose the lie I chose the life Then I realized She might have been the one I let it go For a little fun I made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway Adapted to these models Who's adapted to the bottle They take it down like water Just to burn away their sorrows I'll stay up ‘til tomorrow Just to tear down all their morals And all is fair in Love and War She's pure So pure, like the love that's so uncut and raw And clean, so clean, as opposed to what I offered Because I chose the lie I chose the life Then I realized She might have been the one I let it go For a little fun I made a trade Gave away our days For a little fame Now I'll never see your face But it's okay I adapted anyway She might just be the one She might just be the one She might just be the one She might just be the one The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye
Abel released a snippet from his acclaimed debut album Kiss Land on the 30th of August via YouTube with a very slurred video of him singing in the studio. It was also revealed the song features a sample from The Police’s “Bring On the Night.”
