Lirik Lagu Someone Like You - Adele beserta Maknanya

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 begged
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?

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 begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Lagu "Someone Like You" bermakna tentang seseorang yang berusaha mengikhlaskan mantan kekasihnya. Ia mencoba menerima kenyataan bahwa mantannya itu telah move on bahkan menikah dengan perempuan lain.

Liriknya secara jelas menggambarkan momen saat ia mendatangi mantan kekasihnya secara diam-diam dan menyadari hubungan mereka benar-benar telah berakhir. Walau sempat merasa menyesal, ia sadar bahwa tak ada yang bisa dilakukannya selain menerima takdir.

Lagu ini pun diakhiri dengan pesan harapan agar sang mantan bahagia. Sekaligus menyuarakan keyakinan bahwa ia juga akan menemukan "seseorang seperti dirinya" di masa depan.

Lagu ini ditulis dan direkam hanya dalam waktu dua hari di Harmony Studios, Los Angeles. Lagu "Someone Like You" ini ternyata terinspirasi dari kisah cinta Adele yang harus kandas dengan mantan kekasihnya.

Diyakini mantannya ini adalah seorang fotografer bernama Alex Sturrock. Di mana Adele menjalin kasih sejak pertengahan 2008 hingga April 2009. Adele pun menulis album 21 setelah hubungan tersebut kandas. Bahkan Adele menyebut pria tersebut sebagai the love of my life.

Walau digubah hanya dengan iringan piano, suara Adele sendiri mampu menghidupkan rasa sakit yang ia sendiri rasakan dalam lagu ini. "Someone Like You" membuktikan bahwa lagu terbaik bisa tercipta dari pengalaman paling pahit sekali pun.

Melihat mantan kekasih akhirnya bisa menemukan kebahagiaan dengan orang lain memang sulit. Pasti ada banyak momen-momen bahagiamu dengannya yang selalu terngiang di pikiran maupun hati. Namun, kamu harus sadar bahwa seseorang yang lebih baik juga akan datang untukmu kelak. Yuk, jangan galau mulu!
