Someone Like You

Adele · Live At The Royal Albert Hall [2011]

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'd 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'll beg

I'll remember you say

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'd 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'll beg

I'll remember you say

Sometimes it lasts in love

But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah



Nothing compares

No worries, or cares

Regrets and mistakes

They are 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

Don't forget me, I'll beg

I'll remember you say

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'll beg

I'll remember you say

Sometimes it lasts in love

But sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love

But sometimes it hurts instead
