Someone I Used To Know
Johnny Stimson Lyrics

Oh even though I felt the mountains and the valleys
I have experienced life in its highs and lows.

I think about the little life I've lived
Despite life's experiences, I acknowledge that I am still young and have much to live for.

And while I've seen the setting sun
I have witnessed the end of things.

I know my days have just begun
However, I also know that my future is bright.

and now I see that I've but one life I can give
I understand that I have only one life to live and I want to make the most of it.

Yes, I was thinking over what I do believe in
I have been reflecting on my beliefs.

Oh after love and God they came to mind
Love and God are among the things that I believe in.

Oh I wouldn't change a thing about the way she made me sing
I cherish the memories of the person who made me happy.

Although now she's just a song I've yet to write
However, that person is now just a memory and I haven't put it into words.

So she's gone she's gone away
The person who made me happy is no longer part of my life.

And I held on to yesterday
But I have been dwelling on the past.

Now I see it bright and full
I have clarity about my current situation.

Through the eyes within my soul
My intuition guides me forward.

She's just someone I used to know
That person is now just a memory to me.

If I should see her in a year in New York city
If I happen to come across her after some time, in New York City perhaps,

I might wonder is she's still the one I knew
I might ponder if she has remained the same person I knew.

But I will have to hold my tongue,
I will likely have to suppress my feelings.

I guess my song just won't get sung
I may never be able to put my thoughts into words.

And I will act as if I'm only passing through
I will go on with my life and not be too attached.

Cause even though she took my heart and left it broken,
Even though that person broke my heart,

A million times again I'd let it break
I would still choose to love and get hurt again.

But then as funny as it seems
But then something unexpected happened.

I thought it might have been a dream
I started to think that it may have all been a dream.

And so I prayed and prayed the Lord my soul to wake
I asked for help in waking up to the truth.

But still she went, and left me here
However, that person is still gone, and I am still here.

And all my hope, had turned to fear
My optimism has turned into apprehension.

And now I see it bright and full,
But I now see things clearly.

Through the eyes within my soul,
My intuition guides me forward.

She's just someone I used to know
That person is now just a memory to me.

As we were packing up my things as I was leaving
As I was moving on with my life,

You found her picture buried deep beneath my bed
You found something that reminded me of that person.

And I could see it in your eyes
I could tell by the way you looked at me.

When your heart began to cry
That my actions had caused you pain.

I said she's just a memory lost inside my head
But I reminded you that she's not a real part of my life anymore.

And now you've come, to set me free
But you have come to help me let go of my past.

And I am whole at last I see
I feel newfound completeness.

And now I see it bright and full,
And I am more in tune with my true feelings.

Through the eyes within my soul,
My intuition guides me forward.

She's just someone, I used to know
That person is now just a memory to me.

I used to know
I once knew that person, but not anymore.

I used to know
I once knew that person, but not anymore.

Used to know
That person is now a part of my past.
