Somebody That I Used to Know
Jake Coco Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Occasionally, I reminisce about the past when we were in a romantic relationship

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
One moment I recall is when you expressed immense joy and contentment in our relationship

But felt so lonely in your company
Despite being with you, I experienced a sense of isolation and solitude

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Despite the painful memories, the love we shared still lingers and is something I can't forget

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It's possible to become emotionally attached to feeling melancholic and despondent

Like resignation to the end
A kind of apathy or acceptance towards the inevitable conclusion

Always the end
The end is always an inevitable result

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we reached a point where our relationship became incomprehensible and chaotic

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested we could maintain a platonic friendship despite the end of our romantic relationship

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

But you didn't have to cut me off
It was unnecessary for you to completely cut me out of your life

Make out like it never happened
It's as though our relationship never even occurred

And that we were nothing
Our relationship had no value or significance to you

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

But you treat me like a stranger
You interact with me as though we have never met before

And that feels so rough
It's quite challenging to handle this treatment and it makes me feel uneasy

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
It wasn't just unnecessary, but it was also quite dishonest and hurtful

Have your friends collect your records
You had your friends retrieve your belongings from me

And then change your number
You went as far as modifying your contact information to avoid being contacted by me

I guess that I don't need that though
I now understand that I don't require this kind of treatment in my life

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

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
At times, I recall all the ways in which you deceived or betrayed me

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
You were successful in leading me to believe that I was responsible for our problems and conflicts

But I don't wanna live that way
I refuse to continue living with that kind of self-blame and guilt

Reading into every word you say
I was always trying to find hidden meanings and messages in your speech

You said that you could let it go
You once said you were willing to let go of our conflicts and issues

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
And I wouldn't be aware of you being attached to or preoccupied with someone you used to be involved with

Somebody
An unnamed person who was once significant to you

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

Somebody
An unnamed person who was once significant to you

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

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