《someone like you》的歌詞由阿黛爾創作，曲譜由阿黛爾、艾尼·派爾以及A.R.拉曼共同完成。
以下是部分歌詞：
I heard, that your settled down.
已聽說 你心有所屬
That you, found a girl and your life's complete.
你找到了一個女孩 你的生活完滿幸福
But I heard it through the grapevine.
但這些訊息 還是傳到了我的耳朵里
That your wedding ring, was empty.
你的婚戒 已不再鑲嵌著我的指環
This time, the roles are reversed.
這次 換做我為你感到心痛
(It took me by surprise)
這是我始料未及的
You got your mind set on someone new.
你心有所屬了
But you were mine, once upon a time.
雖然如此 但曾幾何時 你仍屬於我
Now I heard you're settling down, now it's only you and me.
聽說你已步入正軌，如今只是你和我
(Chorus)
But someone like me, never forgets.
而像我這樣的人，是永遠不會忘記的
Even though I try, it still might be a sin.
即使我再努力，這也可能是種罪惡
Some things are worth the pain, it's worth the temporary doubt.
有些東西 只有經歷過疼痛，才值得珍藏
Now I heard you're settling down.
聽說你已步入正軌
I guess you found a way to make me cry again.
我想你又找到了讓我哭泣的辦法
But this time, I'm ready.
但這次 我已經做好了準備
I'm standing here with open arms, even though I don't believe it.
我張開雙臂站在這裡，即使我還不敢相信
(It don't even matter how long it's been)
即使過去多久時間也已經無所謂了
You tell me we were meant to be. (oh yeah)
你說我們注定在一起，我知道這就是對的安排（喔耶）
I don't believe that love like yours ever leaves (don't lie)
我不會相信像你這樣的愛會離我而去（不要說謊）
Oh baby baby maybe I just wanted to hold you tight (can't deny)
喔親愛的寶貝 也許我只是想緊緊抱著你（無法否認）
And you say I will, and you know I always will (always)
你說我一定會的，你知道我會永遠愛你（永遠）
(Chorus) x2 (more sadness)
But someone like me, never forgets. (my love will last forever)
Even though I try, it still might be a sin (the night we cried together)
Some things are worth the pain, it's worth the temporary doubt (like forever)
現在我已經知道了自己的真心（永不磨滅的愛）但像我這樣的人，是永遠不會忘記的（我會一直愛你）即使我再努力，這也可能是種罪惡有些東西只有經歷過疼痛，才值得珍藏但現在我準備好面對一切，哪怕明知你不會回頭，也不會放棄這份感情。你曾經是我心中的摯愛，永遠都不會被遺忘。無論過了多久，我都會堅持自己的選擇。因為我愛你，永不改變。
