Somebody That I Used to
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 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
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
somebody...that i used to
know
somebody...i used to know
somebody...that i used to know
i used to
know
that i used to know
i used to know somebody...
