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 hoped you? d see my face
And 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 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
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 »
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares.
Regrets 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 remember 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 remember you said:
« Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead »
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

The song seems to be directed towards an old friend who has moved on and found someone new, but the singer still longs for their former partner's affection. The first verse acknowledges that the friend has settled down and that their dreams have come true with their new partner, but the singer feels that they could have given more to the relationship. The second verse talks about how time has passed, and the singer wishes that they could relive their past glory days, but they know that it's impossible.
The chorus of "Someone Like You" is incredibly emotional, with the singer wishing their former partner all the best and hoping that they'll find someone who can make them happy, while also begging them not to forget about them.

Overall, "Someone Like You" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and longing that can come with a breakup. The lyrics are deeply personal and speak to the universal experience of heartbreak.

Guys, I hadn't watched this video in over 3 years, but as I was reminiscing I decided to look up some of your songs and wow, what a good feeling your music brings me. I must say, your music helped me through some very rough times when I was going through a divorce and myself as a musician as well, I love to see the creativity you guys employ. Thank you for unknowingly saving my life (literally)....those were some dark days, but your music put a light at the end of the tunnel
