Adele was a breath of fresh, calm air last night at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The night was full of chaos, outrageous costumes, and flashing lights, but Adele made her mark by doing the opposite – by being simple.
Backed by only a piano player, Adele performed her hit song “Someone Like You” from her album “21,” leaving the crowd in pure awe and tranquility.
Adele’s breathtaking performance can be watched in the video player below, and her beautiful lyrics can be found just below the video player.
“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 begged
“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.
Never mind
I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
“Don’t forget me,” I begged
“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.
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are 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 begged
“I’ll remember,” you said
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 begged
“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.
