Somebody That I Used to Know
Goyt Lyrics

Now and then, I think of when we were together
I sometimes reminisce about our past relationship

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
You once told me that you were incredibly happy

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

But felt so lonely in your company
However, I often felt alone when I was with you

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
But despite the pain, I still look back on our love fondly

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

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It feels like giving up when you know everything is going to end

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that we didn't work well together

Well, you said that we would still be friends
You told me that we could still maintain a friendship

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

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

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And pretend like our relationship never existed and that we were insignificant

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
But it hurts that you act like we don't know each other

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to go to such an extreme

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
By having your friends collect your belongings and changing your phone number, you made it even harder for me to contact you

I guess that I don't need that though
Although it was difficult, I am better off without you and those harsh actions

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now, you're merely a person from my past

Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over
Occasionally, I recall all of the times you wronged me

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
Making me believe that I was always at fault

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

Reading into every word you say
Studying your every word for hidden meaning or agendas

You said that you could let it go
You told me that you could move on

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
And I wouldn't find you caught up on a person from your past

Somebody
Someone

(I used to know)
(Who I was familiar with in the past)

(That I used to know)
(Who I previously knew)

(I used to know)
(Who I had known at an earlier time)

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You are simply a person from my past that I used to know
