Someone Like You
Shelly Sony feat. Sao Vicente 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
I 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 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'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 it 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 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'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their 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
I wish nothing but the best for you too
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Someone Like You" by Shelly Sony feat. Sao Vicente is about a woman who sees her old lover who has settled down, married, and moved on with his life while she has not. The first verse speaks about how the woman heard that her old lover has found a girl and married her, which makes the woman think about how she never gave him the things his new wife is now providing for him. The second verse is about how the woman is surprised that her old friend is acting so shy and has hidden away from the light, which is not like him. The chorus is the woman saying that she will find someone like him and wished him the best in his new life. She begs him not to forget her, and the fact that sometimes love lasts, but sometimes it hurts instead.

The song is about the idea of love and moving on. The woman is trying to find a way to deal with heartbreak and wishing him the best as she moves on. "Someone Like You" is a relatable song about how heartbreak can be difficult, but we can choose to move on and wish our ex-lovers the best in their new lives.
