Gotye Kimbra Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Sometimes I reflect on the past when we were in a relationship

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I remember when you expressed extreme happiness

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

But felt so lonely in your company
However, I always felt alone even when we were together

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Despite the loneliness, I still feel the pain of the love we once shared

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
There's an addiction to feeling sad that one can experience

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It's a feeling of giving up, believing that everything will come to an end

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized we couldn't understand each other

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested we remain friends despite this realization

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
I'll confess that I was happy the relationship ended

But you didn't have to cut me off
You didn't need to sever communication completely

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

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

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
However, the way you treat me like a stranger hurts

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to act in such a despicable manner

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
Sending your friends to collect your belongings and then changing your contact information was unnecessary

I guess that I don't need that though
I suppose I don't require those things from you

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You're now a person from my past whom I no longer know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Occasionally, I remember all the times you betrayed me

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
Despite your actions, you made me feel like it was my fault

But I don't wanna live that way
I don't want to continue living in this manner

Reading into every word you say
Analyzing every word you utter

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

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
I wouldn't expect you to be fixated on someone from your past

Somebody (I used to know)
Someone who I once knew

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Currently, you're simply someone from my past who I no longer know

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
I once knew someone who I no longer have a connection with
