HIVE OPEN MIC 171: SOMEONE LIKE YOU ACOUSTIC COVER BY CHOSENFINGERS

Hello family, I'm super excited to be here this week again with a popular heartbreak song.

For this week's theme titled DIVORCE/SEPARATION given by my good friend @merit.ahama , I bring to us an acoustic guitar cover of this popular song SOMEONE LIKE YOU by Adele.

Going through a separation is a really hard thing. I takes a whole lot of reaffirmation and help for one to be okay. This song talks about a lover who wishes her ex the very best in life and hopes to find someone else like him.

Over time, we have seen how separations have left people broken for life and without help, support from friends can lead to harmful acts like suicide, negative perceptions and other unhealthy habits.

Join me and enjoy these beautiful song as I sing with my acoustic guitar.

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 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
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 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."
