Someone Like You
▲Adele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me," I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me," I begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
"Don't forget me," I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me," I begged
I remember you said




"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Overall Meaning

In the song "Someone Like You," Adele sings about an old flame who has moved on with someone new. She reflects on the past and the love they had shared, and although it's over, she can't let go of the hope that they might someday reconnect. The opening lines provide the background- that she heard that he is now settled down, married, and happy in his new life with his current partner. She is aware that he has found someone who fulfills him in ways that she couldn't, and the mention of his dreams coming true suggests that he has found happiness and success in his new life. But despite all of this, Adele still reaches out and hopes to find someone like him someday.


Throughout the song, Adele expresses her regret for having let this person go and her frustration at the fact that she couldn't do anything to change it. She feels like she has missed her chance with him and is trying to make sense of what went wrong. She uses phrases like "sometimes it hurts instead" to express the heartbreak and pain she has experienced since their separation. Despite these feelings, Adele ultimately wishes him nothing but the best and begs him to remember her.


The song is a powerhouse of emotion, and almost everyone can relate to the feelings of longing and regret that Adele pours into her lyrics. It is a poignant reflection on the complexity of human relationships and the difficulty of letting go of the past. The power of the song lies in its ability to tug at the heartstrings of listeners, reminding them of their own past loves and missed opportunities.

Всем, кто говорит, что верит во все религии и поэтому поддерживает все жизненные нарративы:
Тогда вы все позволяете себя обманывать и то добровольно: Библия предупреждает и напоминает нам: НЕ ОБМАНЫВАЙТЕСЬ!
Галатам 6:7 Не обманывайтесь; Бог поругаем не бывает: что посеет человек, то и пожнет.
1 Коринфянам 15:33 Не обманывайтесь: худые связи развращают добрые нравы.
Иезекииль 14:9 И если прельстился пророк, сказав что-нибудь, то Я, Господь, прельстил пророка того, и простру на него руку Мою, и истреблю его из среды народа Моего, Израиля.
Proverbs 20:1 Вино глумливо, сикеры буйны; и всякий, обманутый ими, неразумен.
Луки 21:8 И сказал он: смотрите, не обманывайтесь, ибо многие придут под именем моим и будут говорить: я Христос; и время приближается: итак не ходите за ними.

Подвергайте сомнению повествование, ищите настоящие ответы или информацию, а затем решайте верить или нет.

Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try

Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try

Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
