Somebody That I Used to Know
Gotie feat Kimbra Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Occasionally, I reminisce about the past when we were in a relationship

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I remember when you expressed such intense joy that you felt it could be fatal

Told myself that you were right for me
I convinced myself that you were the one for me

But felt so lonely in your company
Despite being together, I still felt isolated and alone around you

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
That feeling was love, and the pain still lingers

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It's possible to become attached to a specific type of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It's like being resigned to the fact that it's over, that this is the end

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that our relationship didn't make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends
You stated that we could still be friends even if the romantic aspect was over

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
I must acknowledge that I was relieved when it ended

But you didn't have to cut me off
However, you didn't need to sever all ties with me

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
To pretend that our relationship never occurred and that it meant nothing

And I don't even need your love
I don't require your love or affection

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
Nevertheless, you disregard me like a stranger, which is hurtful

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to be disrespectful and spiteful

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
You even had your friends collect your belongings and altered your phone number

I guess that I don't need that though
Fortunately, I don't need any of that

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You're now just a person I used to be acquainted with

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
From time to time, I recall all the times you mistreated me

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But you made me think that it was always my fault

But I don't wanna live that way
But I don't want to continue living with that mindset

Reading into every word you say
Analyzing every remark you make

You said that you could let it go
You mentioned that you were capable of letting it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
You claimed that you wouldn't dwell on past romances like I do

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody I was previously acquainted with

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just another person I used to know

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody I was formerly acquainted with

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just another person I used to know

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
I used to know someone who I no longer have a relationship with
