Someone like you
Judson Mancebo 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 two
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
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 two
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll 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'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

Don't forget me, I beg

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah, yeah
In Judson Mancebo's "Someone Like You," the lyrics appear to tell a story of a man who has moved on with his life and found happiness with someone else after a past relationship ended. The singer of the song hears about the man's new life and hesitantly decides to reach out to him, hoping that seeing her again will reignite their past love. However, she ultimately knows that it is time for her to move on as well and find someone who will be right for her.
The lyrics express a bittersweet sentiment, as the singer's love for this man is still clear, but she knows that it is time to let go of what once was. The chorus repeats the sentiment of finding someone new, but with the hope that the man will hold onto their past memories and cherish them even after they have both moved on.
