Somebody That I Used To Know
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics

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

Like when you said you felt so happy you could cry
I remember when you expressed extreme joy and emotion in my presence

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

But felt so lonely in your company
Despite being with you, I still felt overwhelmingly lonely and unhappy

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Despite the pain and loneliness, I still remember the love we shared

You can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It is possible to become emotionally attached to feeling sad

Like resignation to the end always the end
It's like accepting that the end is inevitable

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we couldn't understand each other

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested that we could still maintain a friendship even after the breakup

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But honestly, I was relieved that the relationship was finished

But you didn't have to cut me off
You could have ended things more amicably

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
Acting as though our relationship didn't matter and never existed

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

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
Treating me like I'm a complete unknown is hurtful and difficult for me to accept

You didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't need to degrade yourself by acting in such an unkind way towards me

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
Sending others to retrieve your belongings and then changing your contact information is immature and unnecessary

I guess that I don't need that though
I realize that I can move on without you and your possessions

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You're now just a person from my past that I no longer have contact with

Now and then I think of all the times you passed me over
Occasionally, I recall the moments you overlooked me or didn't give me attention

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
I thought it was always my fault or something wrong with me that caused you to pass me over

But I don't wanna live that way
But I don't want to continue living in that state of insecurity and blame

Reading into every word you say
Analyzing every word and action in an attempt to understand your feelings towards me

You said that you could let it go
You claimed that you could move on and let the relationship go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
And I believed that you wouldn't be held back by your emotions for a past lover

(Somebody) now you're just somebody that I used to know
You're now only a memory of the past that I've let go of

I used to know (somebody)
But now that our relationship is over, I only remember you as someone from my past
