Somebody That I Used to Know
Night Hits Studio Lyrics

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

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I remember when you professed your love for me and how happy it made you feel

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

But felt so lonely in your company
However, I often felt alone even when we were together

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Despite the pain, I still have fond memories of the love we shared

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
It's possible to become attached to a specific feeling of sadness

Like resignation to the end
Accepting that the relationship is doomed

Always the end
Every relationship comes to an end eventually

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that things weren't working out between us

Well you said that we would still be friends
You suggested that we remain friends after the breakup

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
Although I denied it, I was actually relieved that our relationship had ended

But you didn't have to cut me off
You could have handled the breakup in a less harsh manner

Make out like it never happened
Pretend as though our relationship never existed

And that now we're nothing
And now there's nothing between us

And I don't even need your love
I don't require your affection anymore

But you treat me like a stranger
You behave towards me as if we've never met before

And that feels so rough
And that makes me feel hurt and uncomfortable

No you didn't have to stoop so low
You acted in an unnecessary and cruel manner

Have your friends collect your records
You sent someone else to retrieve your belongings from me

And then change your number
You changed your contact details so I couldn't reach you

I guess that I don't need that though
I suppose I don't really need your personal effects or your contact information

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
But now, you are someone from my past whom I have let go of

Now your just somebody that I used to know
You used to be significant in my life, but now you are not

Now your just somebody that I used to know
And though I still remember you, you are now just a distant memory

Now your just somebody that I used to know
Somebody who was once important to me but is now no longer present in my life

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
From time to time, I reflect on how you treated me unfairly

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But you made me think that I was always the one at fault

And I don't wanna live that way
And I don't want to continue living under those circumstances

Reading into every word you say
Interpreting every word you utter in a particular way

You said that you could let it go
You told me that you could move on from our relationship

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
And I wouldn't catch you being hung up on a past lover

Somebody that I used to know
Someone who I once knew well

Somebody
Someone who I shared part of my life with

Now your just somebody that I used to know
You are no longer someone who I have an active relationship with

Somebody
Someone who I once had a deep connection with

I used to know
However, that connection is no longer present in my life
