Sometimes it hurts instead...

Little known fact, I adore Tyler Glenn (& Neon Trees)! I was introduced to their music and their interesting story almost a year ago in an audio class at UVU (Thanks Wiz!). I follow Tyler on Facebook and love to see the places they've been able to go and how well they are doing. Every now and then he posts something he's working on, this week he posted a cover he recorded of Adele's Someone Like You... beautiful! (See lyrics below, I added Tyler's minor changes in [brackets]).

I immediately thought of someone when I heard Tyler's cover, so this little post is dedicated to him. It says what I've never been able to say. To borrow words from the song, I wish nothing but the best for you BRA (yes, those are someone's initials!). Here's hoping I CAN find someone like YOU!

Someone Like You

Songwriters: Daniel Dodd Wilson & Adele Laurie Blue Adkins

I heard that you’re settled down

That you found a girl [guy] and you’re married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she [he] 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'd 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

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

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I'd 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"

Nothing compares, no worries or cares

Regret's 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 beg, “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 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”

And in case you want to hear Adele sing it live...
