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

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

and then change your number

I guess that I need don't that though

Now you're just somebody that

I used to know

Now you're just somebody that

I used to know

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

And 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

Somebody

I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody

I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know

that I used to know

I used to know

Somebody
