Listen to the song!

Now and then I think of when we were togetherLike when you said you felt so happy you could dieTold myself that you were right for meBut felt so lonely in your companyBut that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadnessLike resignation to the endAlways the endSo when we found that we could not make senseWell you said that we would still be friendsBut I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me offMake out like it never happenedAnd that we were nothingAnd I don't even need your loveBut you treat me like a strangerAnd that feels so rough

You didn't have to stoop so lowHave your friends collect your recordsAnd then change your numberI guess that I don't need that thoughNow you're just somebody that I used to know

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

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

And I don't wanna live that wayReading into every word you sayYou said that you could let it goAnd I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody

that you used to know..

Gotye. Somebody that I used to know
