Someone Like You
Bridget Jones' Diary Vol.2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't think anybody else strikes like you do
And if I had chance, I would probably wife you too
But you got a boyfriend that's toxic and likes to argue
I hate seein' and hearin' you cry
I wish I could go back to those times
Me and you were happy and we would both smile
And I felt the spark between us when I look in your eyes
Snuck over to your house just so we could have a little fun
Little did I know, we'd be something
If I knew what we'd become, I probably wouldn't have done this
I see that your active
But you haven't text back yet, you're probably with your boyfriend
And I hate that I have to stay hidden
Just so that you can avoid another argument
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, without you
But, I can't keep doing this to myself
I need someone like you
But I don't think anybody else strikes like you do
And if I had chance, I would probably wife you too
But you got a boyfriend that's toxic and likes to argue
I hate seein' and hearin' you cry
I wish I could go back to those times
Me and you were happy and we would both smile
And I felt the spark between us when I look in your eyes
I hate that I have to be your boyfriends shadow
I just want you to know
That I love you and I can't let you go
Now you're listening to this audio
Now you know how I really feel
I hope you understand that what I feel is real
I really tried to keep my love concealed
But now I'm running out of time to heal
When I'm around you, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Your boyfriend uses you, he's a thief
And all I can do is convince you to leave
Cause you really don't need that toxicity
I need someone like you
But I don't think anybody else strikes like you do
And if I had chance, I would probably wife you too
But you got a boyfriend that's toxic and likes to argue
I hate seein' and hearin' you cry
I wish I could go back to those times
Me and you were happy and we would both smile
And I felt the spark between us when I look in your eyes
The song "Not Like You" is about a man reflecting on his behavior towards his partner and how he took their love for granted. He admits to being selfish and failing to appreciate the person who loved him unconditionally. The lyrics suggest that he was too busy chasing other women and living his life without considering the impact it had on his partner. As he realizes the consequences of his actions, he pleads for forgiveness and vows to hold onto the love they have.
The lyrics are poignant and honest, emphasizing the importance of valuing the people who care for us. The singer's contrition is apparent as he acknowledges his mistakes and recognizes the value of his partner's love. The chorus, "Not Like You," reinforces the idea that his behavior was not characteristic of the person his partner knew him to be.
Line by Line Meaning
Use to work every day,
I used to work every day, without really thinking about it
I guess I never really thought about it
I didn't give it much thought at the time
Around the world playing the field but you were chill,
I traveled around and dated different people, but you seemed relaxed about it
As I reflect it seems you just allowed it
Looking back, it seems like you may have just put up with it
All the facebook photographs of ladies adoring me,
There were many photos of me on Facebook with women who seemed to really like me
Meanwhile you were sitting home alone.
But during that time, you were home alone
My world's falling apart
Now my life is falling apart
Caught me off guard because we never ever talked about it
This came as a shock because we never discussed it
Now heartbreak is the tune,
I'm feeling heartbroken now
A million words, a million tears just can’t do nothing about it
No matter how much I talk or cry, it doesn't seem to help
It’s my bad I don’t want you to apologize for what you feel
I take responsibility for my actions and don't want you to apologize for how you feel
Girl you were looking for the love you needed
You were searching for the love and support you needed
Images keep on swirling in my mind so every day I gotta pray about it
I can't stop thinking about it, so I pray every day to help cope with the pain
(Not Like You)
This isn't like you at all
Truth is I don’t question your character just so hurt and really mad about it
I don't doubt your character, but I'm extremely hurt and angry about the situation
Maybe you were selfless while I was selfishly busy doing me
Perhaps you were selfless while I was selfish and only focused on myself
I got too busy almost losing you
I was too preoccupied with other things and almost lost you as a result
I knew I had you so I took your love for granted like I really didn’t care about it
I took your love for granted because I assumed I had it already and didn't appreciate it enough
Never realized what you got until it's gone now all I do is sit and think about it
I didn't realize what I had until it was gone, and now I can't stop thinking about it
Cast the hurt and the shame and my ego's blame in the sea of forgetfulness
I want to forget about all the pain, guilt, and blame that I feel
Please forgive me I’ve been such a fool
I'm asking for your forgiveness because of how foolish I've been
(but this is Not Like You)
(but this isn't like you at all)
I almost lost you now I know for sure
I almost lost you, and now I'm certain that I don't want to lose you
We have a love that’s worth fighting for
Our love is worth fighting to keep alive
Even though it hurts I’m gonna hold on tighter, I won’t let you go
Even though it's painful, I'll hold onto you tighter and won't let you slip away
When you find the one love has been cheating
When you find true love, it never cheats
And saying sorry is a state of being
Apologizing constantly should be a natural response when wronging someone you love
I guess I gotta learn my lesson from painful memories
I need to learn my lesson from the pain I've caused
(Not Like You)
(This isn't like you at all)
Baby (Not Like You)
This isn't like you, baby
Baby, please (Not Like You)
Please, baby, this isn't like you
Please, don’t leave me baby (Not Like You)
Please don't leave me, baby, this isn't like you
I know it’s Not Like You (Not Like You)
This isn't like you, I know
It’s just so not like you baby, I don’t know (Not Like You)
This is really out of character for you, baby, and I don't know what to do
Please forgive me I’ve been such a fool
Please forgive me for my foolish ways
Cast the hurt and the shame and my ego’s blame in the sea of forgetfulness
I want to let go of my hurt, shame, and ego and move on from this situation
(but this is Not Like You)
(This isn't like you at all)
