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 it was over

♪ ♪ ♪

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothin'

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 believin' it was always somethin' that I'd done

♪ ♪ ♪

And I don't wanna live that way, readin' 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 nothin'

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

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 it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothin' 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 believin' it was always somethin' that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way, readin' 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 nothin' 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
