A woman used the lyrics of Adele's new song Hello to confuse her ex-boyfriend into thinking she wanted a reunion and posted the results on Twitter.

Mary Caldarella, from Atlanta, US, sent lyrics to the man, known only as Matt, in an exchange which has been retweeted more than 14,000 times.

But the romantic texts leave him bemused when she asks if he would like to meet up using the lyrics of the award-winning artist's song, he replied 'last time I asked if we could go on a date... you told me to go f*** myself.'

Mary sent lyrics to her ex-boyfriend Matt in an exchange which has been retweeted over 12,000 times

The romantic lyrics leave him bemused when she asks if he'd like to meet up using the song, he replied 'last time I asked if we could go on a date... you told me to go f*** myself'

Mary posted the conversation on Twitter with the caption: 'When the ex falls for Adele lyrics.'

The exchange was favourited over 20,000 times.

She opened the conversation with her ex-boyfriend and wrote: 'Hello from the other side.'

Unsuspecting Matt replied: 'Hey you.'

And he gets bemused quickly, he wrote: 'I think you have the wrong Matt.'

But soon he's drawn in when she wrote: 'I'm sorry for breaking your heart.

Mary's messages have gone viral with over 20,000 favourites after using Adele's first single in three years

'It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.'

It's unclear who split with whom and he replied: 'I'm the one who should be sorry.

'And you always say that, you're the one who's perfectly fine now.'

Mary keeps on going and told him: 'I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything.'

And Matt gets the wrong end of the stick, telling she will regret it when she is 'sober.'

He seems to be hoping that she misses him and the conversation comes to an end when in contrast to the romantic lyrics, he wrote: 'Last time I asked if we could go on a date when I came to Auburn, you told me to go f*** myself.'
