Somebody That I Used To Know




Now and then I think of when we were together  
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die  
Told myself that you were right for me  
But felt so lonely in your company  
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness  
Like resignation to the end  
Always the end  
So when we found that we could not make sense  
Well you said that we would still be friends  
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off  
Make out like it never happened  
And that we were nothing  
And I don’t even need your love  
But you treat me like a stranger  
And that feels so rough  
You didn’t have to stoop so low  
Have your friends collect your records  
And then change your number  
I guess that I don’t need that though  
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over  
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done  
And I don’t wanna live that way  
Reading into every word you say  
You said that you could let it go  
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…
But you didn’t have to cut me off  
Make out like it never happened  
And that we were nothing  
And I don’t even need your love  
But you treat me like a stranger  
And that feels so rough  
You didn’t have to stoop so low  
Have your friends collect your records  
And then change your number  
I guess that I don’t need that though  
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
I used to know  
That I used to know
Somebody…
