somebody that i used to know

now and then i think of when we were together

like when you told me you felt so happy you could die

i told myself that you were right for me

but felt so lonely in your company

but that was love and its an ache i still remember

you can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness

like resignation to the end, always the end

so when we found that we couldn't make sense

well you said that we would still be friends

but i'll admit that i was glad it was over

but you didn't have to cut me off

make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

i don't even need your love

but you treat me like a stranger and it feel so rough

no, you didn't have to stoop so low

have you friends collect your records

and then change your number

guess that i don't need that tough

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

had me believing it was always something that i'd done

but 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 i used to know
