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

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

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
