Somebody That I Used to Know
Goyte feat Kimbra Lyrics

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

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I remember the time when you claimed to be extremely content in our relationship

Told myself that you were right for me
I convinced myself that we were the perfect match

But felt so lonely in your company
Despite being in your presence, I still felt isolated and detached from you

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Although it was love, it remains a painful memory

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
We can become dependent on a particular form of sorrow

Like resignation to the end, always the end
It's like conceding to the inevitability of the conclusion

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that things no longer made sense between us

Well you said that we would still be friends
You promised that we would remain as friends after the break-up

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

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

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
You treated our shared experiences as though they never occurred and acted as though we never had a relationship

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
But you treat me as though we are total strangers, and it's hurtful

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
You shouldn't have lowered yourself to such a level

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
Sending your friends to collect personal belongings and then changing your phone number was extreme

I guess that I don't need that though
I suppose I didn't require those possessions or your contact anymore

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

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Occasionally, I recollect how deceitful and unfaithful you were

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
You made me believe that I was the one always making mistakes

But I don't wanna live that way
I refuse to live in a state of constant self-doubt and blame

Reading into every word you say
Misinterpreting everything you say

You said that you could let it go
You claimed that you had moved on from the past

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
You asserted that you wouldn't dwell on a past relationship like I was doing

Somebody (I used to know)
Someone I was once close to

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
But now, you're just a person from my past

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
I used to be familiar with someone I used to know
