Someone Like You
POP BALLADS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard, that your settled down.
That you, found a girl and your 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 lie.
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 & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, 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, yeah.

You'd know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery 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 & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over yet.

Nevermind, 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", yay.

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:-




"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yay yeh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Someone Like You by Pop Ballads capture the pain and heartbreak of a woman who runs into her ex-boyfriend after some time, and learns that he has moved on and gotten married. The opening line “I heard that you’re settled down” sets the tone of the song- one of resignation, regret, and acceptance. She acknowledges that he has found happiness with someone else, but cannot help but feel a twinge of jealousy and nostalgia for what they once had. The second line, “That you found a girl and you're married now” drives the point home- he has moved on, and she has not.


The lyrics continue to describe the relationship they once had- the dreams they shared and the intimacy they shared. The line “Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you” highlights the sense of inadequacy that the singer feels- that someone else could give him something she could not. The chorus is a poignant repetition of the phrase “Nevermind, I'll find someone like you”, a message of bravado and determination masking a deep sense of loss and longing. The second verse is tinged with regret for what they once had, and a wish for things to have been different. The final lines sum up the complexity of heartbreak- “Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”- a bittersweet conclusion that captures the ephemeral nature of love.

@daffnikharkongor6622

My mum always tells me that I have a similar voice to Adele but my anxiety and stage fright could never allow me to sing on stage. So I am still here singing in my bedroom like a dumbass

@musicaparaler2139

When you have a chance hire a good singing coach, it helps a lot !
