Somebody That I Used to Know
Rita Ora Lyrics

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

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Such as when you expressed extreme happiness and contentment

Told myself that you were right for me
Convinced myself that you were the perfect match for me

But felt so lonely in your company
Although I was with you, I felt isolated and alone

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
However, that is what love is; a feeling of pain that I still recall

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

Like resignation to the end
Similar to giving up and accepting the conclusion

Always the end
It always concludes with an ending

So when we found that we could not make sense
Hence, when we realized that our relationship was illogical

Well you said that we would still be friends
You claimed that we will remain friends despite this

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

But you didn't have to cut me off
You didn't have to completely remove me from your life

Make out like it never happened
Pretend as though nothing occurred between us

And that we were nothing
And that we had no significance to one another

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

But you treat me like a stranger
Yet you treat me as if we are unknown to one another

And that feels so rough
And this feels incredibly harsh

You didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to behave in such a lowly manner

Have your friends collect your records
Send your acquaintances to collect your possessions

And then change your number
And then alter your phone number

I guess that I don't need that though
I suppose I don't require that kind of treatment

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Thus, you are now merely a person from my past

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
On occasion, I remember all the times you treated me unfairly

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But you convinced me that all the blame was on my actions

And I don't wanna live that way
I don't want to live that way anymore

Reading into every word you say
Analyzing every single word that comes out of your mouth

You said that you could let it go
You stated that you could move on from this situation

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
And I wouldn't be aware if you were still emotionally attached to someone from your past

Somebody
An unknown person

I used to know
That I was previously familiar with

That I used to know
Who I no longer have any relationship or connection with
