Someone Like You

Just moments ago

When I got the news

I started writing this letter

'Cause I'm thinkin' of you

And there's no telling what I'm thinking I'll do

Checked out mentally promise I'll be back in a few

Seconds feel like hours

While a day is in a minute of wondering

What this world would become, in without you in it

Saving up our time

Find a way to spend it

But

And it's that inconvenient truth, yeah

And that's the clock

So all that I've been after now

Is the powers to try to go make these hours stop

To freeze this moment

Does it ring a bell

When me and you would sit at this piano and sing Adele

You listened to 21 over a thousand times

And at your worst

You found inspiring lines in every rhyme

Stayed smiling, even after you were diagnosed

Wanted to feel your pain even thought about trying a dose

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

I'm supposed to imagine love we have will last forever

But tangibly we're family

But that's just when we're together

And when it's gone it's memories I try to accept

I try to swallow the pain

Instead though my body rejects

Anything

Everything

Don't fight the truth, let it in

And if life's a game, don't let it win

So when it starts making you sick

Just remember to take your medicine

If all the world's a stage

You better believe that I'm on five

On two at a time

Grieving for something that's gone

But something you want live

Nothing I've forgotten

'cause I keep these memories close

Melodies telling me something you said

Hearing your voice in my every note

If only

This life was a second off, a minute delayed

That face in the crowd that

I'm trying to find

Could see me on stage whenever I played

Never afraid, because my only fear has happened now

Wherever you might be watching from

I guess I'm just hoping I did you proud

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

So tragedy's a fairy tale with an alternate ending

Happily ever after

Is all we wanted

But that's only pretending

Still we always seem to find the laughter

'Cause I got this music as my

Own form of therapy

Inherently letting thoughts out

That left inside would bury me

So I'm glad I have you to write to

'Cause I could never find

No I could never find

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
