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
No, 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 you're just somebody that I used to know
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
But 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
No, 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

Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody
that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody
that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody
