Somebody That I Used to Know
Freedom Dub Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Occasionally I remember the time we spent together.

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
For instance when you said you were extremely happy.

I told myself that you were right for me
I convinced myself that you were a good match for me.

But felt so lonely in your company
However, I felt very isolated when we were together.

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Although it was love, the pain of loneliness still lingers in my mind.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
One can develop a dependency on a specific type of sadness.

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It's similar to accepting that things will end badly, because they always do.

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we discovered that our relationship no longer made sense.

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested that we remain as friends.

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
Although I won't deny that I was glad it was finished.

But you didn't have to cut me off
You could have ended things without completely shutting me out.

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
You acted like the relationship never even existed and like we meant nothing to each other.

And I don't even need your love
I don't require your affection anymore.

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
However, you treat me like an unfamiliar person, which hurts my emotions.

No you didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to act so heartless.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
You even had your buddies gather your possessions and switch your phone number.

Guess that I don't need that though
I suppose I didn't need that kind of treatment.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Currently, you're nothing more than a person that I happened to know in the past.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Occasionally I think about all the instances when you betrayed me.

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But, you made me believe that I was always the one who made mistakes.

But I don't wanna live that way
However, I don't want to live like that anymore.

Reading into every word you say
I used to analyze every word you said to me.

You said that you could let it go
You claimed that you could forget about the past.

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
And, I assumed you would not be fixated on someone from your past.
