Somebody That I Used to Know
The Westside Gaming Lyrics

Now and then I think of when we were together
Sometimes I remember being in a relationship with you

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
You once told me you were extremely happy

Told myself that you were right for me
I convinced myself that you were the right person for me

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

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Still, I remember that pain as a result of loving you

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

Like resignation to the end
Just like giving up because it's the end

Always the end
It always ends this way

So when we found that we could not make sense
When we realized that we were not making sense together

Well you said that we would still be friends
You told me that we could still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
However, I must confess that I was relieved our relationship was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
You didn't need to completely cut me out of your life

Make out like it never happened
Act like our relationship never existed

And that we were nothing
And that we meant nothing to each other

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

But you treat me like a stranger
Yet you're treating me like someone you don't know

And that feels so rough
And that feels really harsh

You didn't have to stoop so low
You didn't have to lower yourself so much

Have your friends collect your records
Get your friends to retrieve your belongings

And then change your number
Then change your phone number

I guess that I don't need that though
I don't need any of that anyway

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

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
I recall all the times you deceived me now and then

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But made me believe that I was always at fault

And I don't wanna live that way
I don't want to live that kind of life

Reading into every word you say
Overanalyzing every single thing you say

You said that you could let it go
You said that you could move on

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
I wouldn't find out that you're still stuck on someone from your past
