Someone Like You Lyrics

Just moments ago
When I got the news
I started writing this letter
‘Cause I’m thinkin’ of you

And there’s no telling what I’m thinking I’ll do
Checked out mentally promise I’ll be back in a few
Seconds feel like hours
While a day is in a minute of wondering
What this world would become, in without you in it

Saving up our time
Find a way to spend it
But Timeflies
And it’s that inconvenient truth, yeah
And that’s the clock
So all that I’ve been after now
Is the powers to try to go make these hours stop
To freeze this moment
Does it ring a bell
When me and you would sit at this piano and sing Adele
You listened to 21 over a thousand times

And at your worst
You found inspiring lines in every rhyme
Stayed smiling, even after you were diagnosed
Wanted to feel your pain even thought about trying a dose

(Chorus)
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, yeah
I’m supposed to imagine love we have will last forever
But tangibly we’re family
But that’s just when we’re together
And when it’s gone it’s memories I try to accept
I try to swallow the pain
Instead though my body rejects
Anything
Everything
Don’t fight the truth, let it in
And if life’s a game, don’t let it win
So when it starts making you sick
Just remember to take your medicine
If all the world’s a stage
You better believe that I’m on five
On two at a time
Grieving for something that’s gone
But something you want live
Nothing I’ve forgotten
’cause I keep these memories close
Melodies telling me something you said
Hearing your voice in my every note

If only
This life was a second off, a minute delayed
That face in the crowd that
I’m trying to find
Could see me on stage whenever I played
Never afraid, because my only fear has happened now
Wherever you might be watching from
I guess I’m just hoping I did you proud
(Chorus)
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, yeah

So tragedy’s a fairy tale with an alternate ending
Happily ever after
Is all we wanted
But that’s only pretending
Still we always seem to find the laughter
‘Cause I got this music as my
Own form of therapy
Inherently letting thoughts out
That left inside would bury me

So I’m glad I have you to write to
‘Cause I could never find
No I could never find

(Chorus)
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, yeah
