Someone Like You
The Love Allstars 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?
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'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 said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

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, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
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?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I 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 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 Love Allstars’ song Someone Like You is a bittersweet tribute to a past love. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing disbelief that their former lover has found someone else and gotten married. The second verse reflects on the past, with the singer reminiscing about their “glory days” and the time they spent together.


The chorus then shifts to a message of moving on and acceptance. The singer tells their ex that they will find someone new, and wishes them well. At the same time, however, they ask their ex not to forget them, and remind them that while love can be wonderful, it can also be painful. The final lines of the song express the complexity of looking back on a past relationship with mixed emotions, acknowledging that even the painful memories are a part of who they are.


Overall, the lyrics of Someone Like You strike a chord with anyone who has ever loved and lost. The song captures the feeling of longing for someone who is no longer part of your life, while acknowledging the importance of moving forward and finding happiness in the future.
