🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Sing the opening verse

  • 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
someone· alguémmarried· casado(a)settled· estabelecido(a)
