Someone Like You
Adele · 21 [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 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," Yeah
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," Yeah, Yay
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," Yeah
You know how the time flies only
