Someone Like You

I HATE this song by Adele. I just despise the lyrics so much. It grates on my nerves every time I hear it... I can just picture some of Matt's ex-girlfriends' singing this song or calling him up and saying something similar to him. After I told this to Matt, he laughed and said his one ex-girlfriend actually did say she was going to find someone like him....

Here is a breakdown of the lyrics and why it bothers me:

I heard that you 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.

Okay, first of all, if you heard that he settled down and is married, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU CALL HIM UP AND BRING UP OLD MEMORIES? If his dreams came true while he was with the woman he is married to now, then OBVIOUSLY, you were all wrong for him; holding him back to where he couldn't achieve those dreams. So yes, his wife IS giving him things you didn't give to him.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

"Old friend"? You aren't friends. You are exes in each others' lives. And he is being shy because his EX just called him out of the blue. He is thinking how to explain it to his wife and praying she doesn't jump to conclusions that he is cheating on her. He is holding back because he doesn't want to talk to his EX. You're in his PAST, not present or future. As for the light? It's from his wife, not you.

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.

You know, if I had an ex and I heard he got married, then I'd let him be. I wouldn't come from out of the blue and try to get back into his life. That is just messed up! And yes, you CAN stay away. You just chose NOT to stay away or fight the urge. And as for hoping that he would realize that it isn't over for the two of you when he sees you is just crazy. OBVIOUSLY he IS over you because he moved on and is happily married to his wife.

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


Okay, yesterday was the time of your lives? Well, I hate to break it to you, but yesterday is in the PAST. Just like your relationship with him. Again, he has MOVED ON from you. He doesn't WANT you. He wants his WIFE. They might have been your glory days, but his glory days are with his wife now.


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

Memories.... It sounds like I am repeating myself, but memories are from the past.... It's bittersweet... .bitter for him because he doesn't want you to talk to him or contact him. And it's probably only sweet for you to hear his voice and think that if he sees you, he will leave is wife and come back to you... home wrecker.


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.


Good, move on now. Go try to find someone like him. He is the only one like him out there, I guarantee it... And you're begging him not to forget you?? That is what he WANTS to do! He doesn't want you around him. He doesn't want your memory clouding his brain. He wants rid of you! Now just end the stupid song.message and leave him alone.


Ugh, that irritates me! This is what goes through my head every time I hear this stupid song. I can see it ruining a bunch of happy relationships/marriages because some stupid woman hears this song and tries to get back with her ex boyfriend who is now in a new relationship or even married.


Now, I know Matt wont ever go back with an ex, so it is probably ridiculous for me to think like this, but it just irritates me that some girl doesn't care if it ruins a family, just to have this guy back... .How horrible is the world nowadays?? No one respects relationships... No one cares if you're married anymore or not. They want what they want and will stop at nothing to get it.


GAR!


Ok, end rant... lol

P.S. I just want to add that when it comes on the radio, I DO change the radio station. This is MY opinion and MY thoughts on this song. Just thought I'd add this after some ignorant person commented on my link on FB about MY blog...
