somebody that i used to know

now and then i think of when we were together

like when u said u felt so happy u could die

told my self that u were right for me

but felt so lonely in ur company

but that was love and it's an ache i still remember

u can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

like resignation to the end, always the end

so when we found that we could not make sense

well u said that we would still be friends

but u didn't have to cut me off

make it like it never happened and we were nothing

and i dont even need ur love

but u treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

no u did'nt have to stop so low

have ur friends collect ur records and then change ur number

i guess i dont need that though

now u're just somebody that i used to know

now and then i think of all the times u screwed me over

but had me believing it was lways something that i'd done

but i dont wanna live that way 

reading into every word u say

u said that u could let it go

and i wouldn't catch u hung up on somebody that i used to know
