To me, this songs means empowerment and finally telling yourself that you are able to move on.
Its about finding your ex and seeing that they have moved on,
and you, being optimistic/stubborn/determined or what you want to call yourself, think you can convince them that you are still the one, only to realize that you are wrong.
And even though you realize you can't have them, you simply tell yourself and possibly them that its not impossible, but you'll find someone like them. Not specifically like them, but someone to share memories and moments with and to give you that remarkable sensation of love.
She's not wishing bad things upon her ex and his new love, she just wants him to remember their love, memories and what they shared.
Its quite beautiful. This song is truly a bittersweet goodbye.
You are absolutely right.. Your post almost made me shed a tear.. I'm sure everyone has gone through a bittersweet experience and can relate to this song.

I disagree... There is absolutely nothing empowering about this song. It's about devastation. It's about the realization that it WON'T ever work out, because they've moved on, and you're still madly, hopelessly in love, and the only thing you can console yourself with is "Someday I'll find someone like you".

It's about breaking down and simply not being able to prevent yourself from trying to interject yourself back into their lives in some way, simply in the hopes that they'll validate you by telling you "yeah, we had some good times", and when that doesn't happen, your only remaining response is "Nevermind, I'll find someone like you."
It's about that time when you realize they've moved on, and you choke on the words "I wish nothing but the best for you", because it's simultaneously sincere and devastating. It kills you to think that it can't work out for the two of you, but at the same time you genuinely want their relationship to succeed because you know that if it doesn't, the person you love so uncontrollably will probably hurt the same way you do, and that's the last thing you ever want for them.
Rolling in the deep is an empowering song, but this song is about the days you can barely bring yourself to get out of bed to eat. It's most definitely NOT about moving on.
Thats the beauty in music. Everyone can interpret it differently.
You make very valid and argumentative points, however when I listen and sing this song, it helps me move forward, it helps me realize that I don't need to be hung up on my ex any longer. That I CAN move forward, I CAN move on.. I can find someone like them and I don't need to be upset anymore now that they've moved on.
Why be hung up on someone, who obviously has moved on?
I feel this song is about coming to terms with yourself when your in that...

I feel this song is about coming to terms with yourself when your in that state of mind. That state of "I need them back"
Although Different, I enjoyed your interpretation of this song!
lilangel27, I feel that line is telling her ex that "Hey, I still love you, can't you see."
thats what I get out of it. She's finally bringing herself to admit to him that she's still not over him, and she want's him to know, once she realizes that he has moved on she discovers she needs to let go and move on as well. She'll find someone new, someone to love, someone like him.

@cmguido - I think most interpretations of this song are actually all right. The beauty of her lyrics is that they can speak to people at very different "recovery" points after a relationship. You hear "I'm moving on", kenziarae hears "I'm not over you yet", and the beauty of it is that neither of you is quantifiably "right/wrong" but you both found different personal meaning from the same words while equally identifying with them.
