Somebody That I Used to Know
Hardwell vs Gotye feat Kimbra Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Occasionally, thoughts cross my mind about the time we spent when we were in a relationship.

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I remember an instance in which you mentioned being so content that you could've died then and there.

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

But felt so lonely in your company
However, despite being with you, I always felt isolated and alone.

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Nonetheless, that was love, and the pain it caused me is something I still reminisce about.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It's possible to become attached to a specific type of sadness that you're familiar with.

Like resignation to the end, always the end
This sadness could be comparable to surrendering to the inevitable outcome, regardless of how bleak it might seem.

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that our relationship didn't have a logical explanation,

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

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
However, I must confess that I was relieved when our relationship was over.

But you didn't have to cut me off
You could've ended things without completely severing ties with me.

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
You didn't have to deny the fact that we existed in each other's lives.

And I don't even need your love
I'm not even longing for your love anymore.

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
It's harsh how you act like you don't even know me anymore.

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Your behavior towards me didn't have to be so disgraceful.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
The way you got rid of any evidence of me from your life in such an impersonal manner shows how little I meant to you.

I guess that I don't need that though
Despite all that, I've come to realize that I don't require your validation.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
At this point, you're simply a person that I was once familiar with.

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

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
You had me convinced that every time something went wrong, it was my fault.

But I don't wanna live that way
However, I've chosen that I no longer want to live in that manner.

Reading into every word you say
I don't want to scrutinize each and every word that you say, trying to discern whether you genuinely mean it or not.

You said that you could let it go
You made a statement about being able to move on from our past.

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
You claimed that you wouldn't be fixated on somebody from your past the way I was on you.

Somebody (I used to know)
That person that I was attached to, someone who played such a significant part in my life.

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
However, now you're nothing more than a memory, somebody that I used to know.

Somebody (I used to know)
That person that I was attached to, someone who played such a significant part in my life.

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
However, now you're nothing more than a memory, somebody that I used to know.

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
I used to be familiar with someone, and now that familiarity is no longer present - it's just a memory.
