Assignment #5 English song

  When I was a senior high student, sometimes I felt enormous pressure from the ten subjects. Once, I found someone was singing and then the voice relieved my stress! The song which he sang was Adele's "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 beg
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


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 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 remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead'
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
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

The reason why I love it

Sometimes we will meet someone or something that lets us be overwhelmed with. Maybe it is a friend's leaving or a thing's defeat. These situations often let us frustrating or depressed, but we are going to recover when time flies. Never mind for what influences our mood. We will find an important reason or a new way which can let us pick ourselves up again and continue to pursue our dreams. Although we still will have a hard way to go, it is just the life. My favorite comedian ever said " Life is used to regret. " Because we can't do the best all the time, we just know to cherish everyone we meet and time.
