Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You 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 you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now 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 way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody...

Who's listening in 2024??
-
Like a fine wine, this song gets better with age. Truly memorable
-
the part when he says somebody that i used to know and the paint is disappearing off her body is perfect
-
After all these years I'm only realising he gradually blends into the background as a metaphor to the relationship fading out, clever
-
He couldn't have chosen a better singer to duet with.The whole song is beautifully put together.❤
-
In 2007 I met this young woman who became my best friend, she made me laugh better than nobody, the sun in my life. In 2011 we start a relationship but the begining was very difficult for several reason (our exs, the jealousy…) and we break up at the same time this song came out. I was so sad… but few weeks after we got back together. And today she is my wife since 2015, and she sleeping next to me as i write these lines. The only love of my life. The break up songs exist, but in the real life, sometimes, the ending is better 😉
-
This song needs to go on at least three times as long - we need to hear more of her side of the story.
-
It has always amazed me how quickly love can turn to hate when a couple breaks up. They go from wanting to love each other to wanting to hurt each other.
-
2024, anyone?
-
I'm still listening to this in 2024, and I still find the song and the video a powerful message. Painting one into your picture or taking them out
-
Anyone 2024 ?
-
"you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough", hits hard
-
2024 ❤ immer noch eines der besten songs
-
It's September 2023 and this song just never gets old. The video is so beautifully done and their voices are perfectly blended together and against each other. I never tire of listening to it or watching the video...
-
A song about a suppressed relationship that lay dormant until it couldn't last any longer! A song about most people's love lives!
-
I’m watching dis in April 2024
-
"I don't even need your love" hits too hard..💯🔥
-
Dropped a banger then left us like someone he used to know
-
Uhnmm can someone tell me how this doesn't have billions or views??
-
Who's listening 2025?
