Jemanden Wie Dich Lyrics in English Johannes Oerding

Ever been caught in that messy in-between after a breakup, when you can’t eat, sleep, or think about anything else? Johannes Oerding bottles that whirlwind feeling in “Jemanden Wie Dich”. The narrator is stuck replaying memories, lighting old habits (literally picking up smoking again), and wrestling with the impossible task of forgetting. His mind keeps looping: I’ll focus on myself… then I’ll look for someone like you. The repetition in the chorus mirrors the tug-of-war between moving on and clinging to the familiar comfort of a lost love.

At its heart, the song is both a confession of heartbreak and a pep-talk to start over. The singer promises that once he finally understands “why, how, and why not me,” he’ll erase the mental photos and draw a firm line under the past. Only then can he try to find “someone like you” — or maybe discover that what he really needs is someone completely new. Oerding’s lyrics turn a universal post-breakup dilemma into a relatable anthem: heal first, then search again, all while learning a little more about yourself along the way.
