Someone Like You
♥Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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"
The lyrics of Adele's "Someone Like You" describe the pain of seeing an ex-lover moving on and finding happiness with someone else. The song expresses a longing to reconnect with the ex-partner, but ultimately acknowledges the need to move on.
The opening line, "I heard that you're settled down," sets the tone for the rest of the song. Adele has learned that her former lover has found someone new and is now married, and this news triggers a mix of emotions. She regrets not being able to provide him with what he needed, and wonders why he seems to be avoiding her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Never mind, I'll find someone like you," suggesting that while Adele still cares for him deeply, she knows it's time to let go and find someone new. However, the use of the word "never" in the chorus implies that she is not entirely convinced that she can find someone who compares to him.
The lyrics are highly relatable, as most people have experienced heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from someone they once loved deeply. Adele's passionate vocals and the slow, haunting melody add to the emotional impact of the song.
