Someone like you
LYRICS
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,
Nevermind, 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
