Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Adele:
Someone Like You
Length: 4:45
Release: 2011
Opening Lyrics:
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
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
