Someone Like You
Adele/Musicfire.in 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"

Line by Line Meaning

I heard that you're settled down
I heard that you have started a domestic life


That you found a girl and you're married now
I am aware that you have found a partner and are now married


I heard that your dreams came true
I heard that your aspirations have been fulfilled


Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
I presume that she has given you things that I was unable to provide


Old friend, why are you so shy?
Why are you so reserved, my old friend?


Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
It is uncharacteristic of you to refrain from expressing yourself or to avoid the spotlight


I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
I apologize for appearing without prior arrangement


But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
But I was unable to resist the temptation to see you again


I had hoped you'd see my face
I had anticipated that you would perceive my countenance


And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
And that it would serve to remind you that my feelings have not diminished


Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I will find another person similar to you


I wish nothing but the best for you, too
I hope only the best for you also


"Don't forget me," I beg

I remember you said
I recall you saying


"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Love can sometimes be everlasting, but sometimes it can be painful instead"


You know how the time flies
You are aware of how quickly time passes


Only yesterday was the time of our lives
It feels like only yesterday was the best time of our lives


We were born and raised in a summer haze
We were brought up in a state of carefree happiness


Bound by the surprise of our glory days
Tied together by the unexpected joy of our prime


Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Nothing else compares, there are no concerns or anxieties


Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Regrets and errors are experiences that shape us


Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Who could have predicted how much of a mixture of pleasure and pain this would be?


"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Love can sometimes be everlasting, but sometimes it can be painful instead"

"Set Fire To The Rain"

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh!

Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain

Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you

'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time

I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time, oh

Oh, no
Let it burn, oh-oh-oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
