Somebody
Gotie ft. Kimbra Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Occasionally, I reminisce about the time we spent as a couple.

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
For example, when you expressed that you were so content that you could have died in that moment.

Told myself that you were right for me
I convinced myself that we were compatible and meant to be together.

But felt so lonely in your company
However, I often experienced feelings of isolation even when I was near you.

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Despite the pain, that was what I considered to be love, and I remember it vividly.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It's possible to become addicted to a specific form of melancholy.

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It's akin to accepting that things will inevitably come to a close, as they always do.

So when we found that we could not make sense
When it became clear that we were no longer able to make sense of our relationship

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested that we could still maintain a friendship.

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
I must confess that I was, in fact, relieved that our romantic attachment ended.

But you didn't have to cut me off
You didn't need to sever all contact with me.

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
Deceivingly suggest that our past relationship meant nothing and should be forgotten.

And I don't even need your love
I don't require your affection in my life.

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
However, it's unpleasant when you act as if we're complete strangers.

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
It wasn't necessary to act in such a disrespectful manner.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
To have your friends gather your belongings and block my calls.

I guess that I don't need that though
But I suppose I don't require that kind of closure.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You're now someone that holds no significance in my current life.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Occasionally, I reflect on the moments when you've wronged me.

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
You somehow made me think that I was the one at fault for the issues in our relationship.

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

Reading into every word you say
To overanalyze and interpret every single sentence you utter.

You said that you could let it go
You claimed that you could move on from our past relationship.

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
I hoped that you wouldn't dwell on someone from your past like I did.

Somebody (I used to know)
Someone that used to have a significant place in my life.

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
But now, you're simply a person that holds no special meaning to me.

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Again, you're just someone that doesn't matter in my present life as it stands.

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
I reiterate that you're someone I used to know and nothing more.
