I heard, that you're settled down
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 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 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 say
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 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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Nothing compares no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
This would taste
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
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 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 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 say
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 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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Nothing compares no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
This would taste
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me I beg, I'll remember you say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
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 say
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

It's that internal conversation after the breakup.
And that you 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"
Beautiful Paradox !
This is a story of two people who had been best friends, possibly had tried to engage in a romantic relationship, too, at some point, but as years passed they've strayed away from each other. A clue for their estrangement is that she finds out from a third person ("I heard...") that he has settled down and gotten married. She visits him after all those years, to remind him that they were once friends, and that her feelings for him aren't gone. He's hesitant and shy, and seeing how happy he is with his life, she realizes that it's too late for them now. The past is gone and she'd best move on, even find someone else, although someone like him, a nice guy to settle down with. She wants him to be happy, even though it hurts her to know that it's not her he's happy with.
I think it's one of Adele's most passionate songs. You can feel it in her voice when she enters the chorus. "Nevermind, I'll find someone like you." It sounds like she's practically trying to keep herself from crying. I love how many emotions she can get through to the listener with her voice.
In the end, I think this song is about how love can built you up, and about how it can break you down when you can't let yourself let go of your feelings for a person who's already out of your reach. It's a beautiful song and I think most people can relate to the meaning it's trying to pass.
I'm going to use it for my homework about a love song.
Thanks man!
TO IGNORE YOU AT TIMES,
FOR NOT APPRECIATING YOUR WHOLE
WITHOUT ANY CLUE OR ANY SIGN--
YOU FELT I DIDN'T LOVE YOU AT ALL.
IT TAKES TIME TO REALIZE
IT TAKES DISTANCE TO CONCEIVE
THAT BEHIND ALL THE LIES
IN YOU AND ME, I STILL BELIEVE--
BUT TOO LATE TO BREAK THIS WALL.
I NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU
EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART,
I NEVER STOP LOVING YOU UNTIL THE TIME YOU FORGET MY PART.--
AND THE MOMENT THAT MY TEARS HAD FALL.
I WISH YOU HAPPINESS
SO I DECIDED TO SET YOU FREE,
FOR YOU TWO TO HAVE THE BEST
EVEN IT BRINGS PAIN IN ME.--
I JUST HOPE SOMETIMES IN YOUR MIND I'D BE RECALL.
AT THE TIME WE'LL BE SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN
LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND FOR THE LAST TIME,
WILL MAKE YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
YOU STAY HERE <3 FOR A LIFETIME.--
IN MY HEART WHERE YOU ALWAYS STALL.
BY TODAY I'LL START TO MEND THIS CRUSHED HEART OF MINE
ACCEPT THE COLD HARSH TRUTH THAT WERE NOT MEANT FOR EACH OTHER,
WILL WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME
WAIT UNTIL MY HEART FIND THE ANSWER.--
WHEN IM READY TO BE ATTACH AGAIN AND FALL.
I'D ALWAYS BE A FRIEND, THAT'S A PROMISE
ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU THOUGH YOU DONT NEED IT,
CAUSE WITHOUT YOU MY WORLD WOULD CEASED
I BEGGED YOU,REMEMBER ME EVEN A BIT.--
YOU'D STILL BE THE HALF OF MY SOUL.
: ILOVEYOU, I ALWAYS DO...
And when it comes to her being shy and hiding from the light, that means she doesn't want to go up to him and tell him how she feels because he's happy and she doesn't want to ruin that or take that away from him so she moves on.
It can also be interpreted many more ways as well. Such as seeing someone you love (not necessarily someone you dated previously) marry or fall in love with someone else instead of you and you realizing you have to move on and find someone else to love and make you happy.
