“Someone Like You” must be a song of 2012, following behind Adele’s hit song “Rolling in the Deep” which won “Song of the Year” in Grammy 2012. This song is brilliant, but what’s the real story behind Someone Like You.  Adele had said that she began writing it on her acoustic guitar in the wake of the break-up of her 18 month relationship with the 30-year old man she thought she would marry. A few months after their split, he had gotten engaged to someone else. She also said that "I wrote that song on the end of my bed. I had a cold. I was waiting for my bath to run. I'd found out that he'd got engaged to someone else.

See? That’s how this sad song comes from. With this song exposed to us, it successes and be welcomed, so that lots of covers showed. Here are some covers collected from different areas and with several angles.

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
•  
• Never mind, I'll find someone like you
• I wish nothing but the best for you too
• Don't forget me, I beg
• "I'll 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 it 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, yeah.

• Nothing compares
• No worries or cares
• Regrets and mistakes
• They are memories made.
• Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
