Adele: Someone Like You Meaning
Song Released: 2011
Someone Like You Lyrics
That you found a girl and you're, married now
I heard, that you're dreams came true
I 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...

This is a beautiful song...And clearly is a sad heartbreaking song! But it sounds to me like she was once confused about her true feelings! They went their seperate ways...For quite some time! She now realises the importance of having him in her life! However has found out now he has moved on and is happily married! Which breaks her...But knowing the impact he had on her life, once...Wishes him nothing but the best! It truely brings tears to me eyes! What a tremendous song, with such meaning!!! :-)

She reminiscing about a past love, who will always be in her heart. She's found out that he's married, and so it really is over, but it's not over for her. She's thinking that it all seems like it was just yesterday, when they were having the time of their lives, frolicking in the summery haze... she is coming to terms with the fact that sometimes love lasts, but sometimes it doesn't; it is small consolation knowing that she'll find someone else in the future, someone like him ...
-
She means is a really simple way " I still love you ".

this song means the world to me...
i met an old friend during the summer when i was very young. i had forgot about him for a few years, but then i finally saw him again, and from then on, we became very good friends. he is still my best friend... (we were born and raised in a summer haze)
at one point, we both were aware that we had a crush on each other. but the circumstances that we were (and are currently) in wouldn't allow us to have a relationship that made us more than friends. even through other relationships, our bond stayed strong, and even grew... (bound by the suprise of our glory days)
in the past few months, the way he talks to me, ect, has has changed, and i was blind to the fact as to why, until recently. he's been having struggles with his family and himself, but more than that, he told me that he likes a man. and i can tell that he has been having a hard time accepting and understanding the fact that he may be gay... (old friend, why are you so shy? it's not like you to hold back, or hide from the light)
he had always talked to me of the things that we were going to do in our future. i was willing to wait for him.. (you know how the time flies) but those dreams have all been shot down and killed, and new ones for him without me have begun to take shape. (i heard that your dreams came true... guess she gave you things i didn't give to you.)
i know that for me it still isn't over. (i had hoped you'd see my face, and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over.) i know i need to move on, and that it's the right thing to do right now... but its been hard on me. i want to be with him, but he's confused, and we probably couldn't be possible, even if he does still like me. (nothing compares, no worries or cares, regrets and mistakes, they're memories made. who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?) i want the best for my old friend, and i'll try to find someone new... but i don't want to forget. i don't want you to forget.
(nevermind, 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, and sometimes it hurts instead.")
that is my connection to this song... maybe you can have a similar interpretation as well. -
Adele revealed that this track came about when she “was feeling pretty miserable and pretty lonely.” Going on to say that the entire record is about this one relationship and this song in particular sums up how she was affected by this person.
Adele concluded by saying,” I can imagine being about 40, looking for him again … and he is settled with a beautiful wife … and I am still on my own.”

This song is basically about how she has just come out of a bad relationship. "I heard that you're settled down that you've found a girl and you're married now. I heard that your dreams came true, guess she gave you things I couldn't give to you" She has heard that he found a new girl and that he's happy. She feels bad that she couldn't give him everything he wanted so maybe this is the reason of the split."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." She is still in love with the guy and hates to turn up when he's happy but she feels that she has to tell him how she really feels. "Never mind I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you two. Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said, Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead." She knows she'll find someone else eventually and that even though she's hurting, she wishes him all the best.

At first I thought this song was about a friend whom she had known in childhood/teens, and gotten back in contact with him and found out he'd gotten married and settled down.
I was recently advised that it was about Adele's ex boyfriend, and her not being able to find closure. She says/does the right thing because she thinks the world of him. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it at home/on the radio.
I am fortunate enough to have a man who loves me as equally as I do him, we are getting married soon and I feel so very blessed to have what we do.
I have had some near-misses and heartaches before I met my partner but that was in my early teens, and I am so glad I hopefully won't have to go through again what she is describing in this song. -

She's talking about someone she loves who has settled down and how she's happy for him but that she'll always remember the time they had together, how it was "the time of their lives" she's singing from the heart about how hard she tried to make the relationship work. "I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited" she's just come to terms with her feelings and feels that she needs to let him know one last time how much he meant to her. This song is based on regret and how bitter sweet it was that they didn't last. "Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

She did an interview about this song and preformed it in her home. You can find it on VEVO I think. She says this song was the opposite of Rolling In The Deep, this song was when she was on her knees about this one relationship. She can see him when he's forty and with a beautiful wife and she's still alone.

Two high school sweethearts ...who loved each other ...but two different goals broke them apart but always promised each other hands n marriage after reached goals ......girl hears he's married because she loves him still dearly couldn't stay away had to go back home town ....he would've understood knowing shes' back n town .....he didn't show up cause he knew he still deeply in love with her...2 things she remember him saying are what they a living through now ,,,,forbidden love.

Its one of those situations where you think to yourself ... what if...
What if we tried to work things out?
What if I loved you more and you loved me more?
What if we didnt argue over silly little things?
What if we tried to fix what was broken?
What if I told you I loved you more?
Would we still be together? Would I be your wife? Would we be happy?
She sees that she has lost out on something, she still has feelings for him and hopes that deep down in his heart he has feelings for her too. She probably ran through what could happen when meeting him again in her head over and over again...will he open the door and have that sparkle in his eyes, take her into his arms and hold her forever??
Unfortunatly, he had moved on. He had found his new love and life and she was still living in the past, hoping for something that could never happen.
Although she feels like he has changed - Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light. She feels that he isnt like he used to be, that his new love has changed him.
She feels that one day, she will find another true love, she will have her day. But hopes that he will remember her like she remembers him, sometimes, maybe the smell of her perfume, a place they have shared or just the way the day feels...as long as he remembers and smiles she will be happy.
If I think back i can certainly think of a relationship where I was loved but didnt feel I could give back the love that I was receiving. I moved on. But I would like that person to know that I do still think of them and wish them well in whatever they are doing and wherever they are in life and hope they think of me also. -
