Someone Like You
Alexa Goddard 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?
It 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'd 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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but
Sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Traducción de transmusiclation
You'd 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'd hoped
You'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over, yeah

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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
It hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares
No worries, or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They're memories made
Who would have known how
Bittersweet this would taste
Traducción de transmusiclation
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 say
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 beg
I remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
It hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes




It hurts instead
Yeah, yeah...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alexa Goddard's song Someone Like You, tell a story of a woman who has heard that her former lover has found happiness with another woman. She is aware of the fact that he has settled down and is married now. The woman acknowledges that he has found things in his new relationship that she couldn't give him. She wonders why he is so reserved and not reacting as he would normally, as he has nothing to be ashamed of.


Despite not being invited and not knowing what her former lover's reaction might be, the woman decides to reach out to him. She wants him to know that she couldn't stay away and hopes that he remembers that it isn't over for her. She acknowledges that she has moved on but still wishes nothing but the best for him too. The woman reminds him that love can sometimes last forever, but other times it can hurt instead. The memories shared between them, whether happy or otherwise, are now just that, memories that they will both cherish, but life moves on.


Overall, the song highlights the painful experience of letting someone go whom you once loved deeply. At the same time, it also depicts the importance of acknowledging that people move on and that sometimes the best we can do is to wish them well.

Ah. I haven't had these sort of goosebumps in a while. Your voice is stunning.

Latarochi

Amazing! I don't think artists who cover other artists are trying to beat the original artist. They obviously relate to the song. It's unfair to compare them. They each have incredible talent!

jhssuthrnmama

Absolutely breathtaking, all the way to the first chorus. You came in with not quite enough support. Then back to beautiful voice, perfect support, wonderful interpretation, flawless pitch, amazing overall use of a wonderful instrument. With a smoky voice, it can be easy to abuse it by pushing too hard, singing with a cold, etc. Take it from me, and from Adele - this kind of voice is subject to damage with overuse. Be careful. Thank you for sharing your voice. Simply beautiful.

Nathan Hayes

Such a soothing voice. You can feel the pain, the passion. Great cover.

Shelby Kamman

Your voice is amazing! Especially singing covers for Artis with big voices! It fits perfectly, and you did a great job on this one and the Beyonce cover.

jhssuthrnmama

Just listened to a few more of your videos. A few are a bit nasal (Etta, Moves Like Jagger), but you absolutely shine on Whitney and this one especially. The later choruses where you are actually quieter than the first are even more beautiful, because you support them all the way through, even though they're quiet. Just masterful. Takes my breath away every time.

Alexi Giguère

One of the reasons why Adele is so popular is how she doesn't use that gimmicky bullshit trembling that EVERY GOD DAMN GIRL DOES. 

HarryB

Now that is how you cover an Adele song I guarantee she'd feel all warm inside after listening to you those tones of yours are insane! Good job.

Chemtrails 509132

I can feel the passion. I felt your heart like you you experienced a loss. It's one thing hearing someone sing it but to hear it and experience it, it's got depth... great voice! 👍

defenestrati

This is the pinnacle of performance. If you throw yourself into every song as you do here, you will be a legend.
