Somebody That I Used To Know
Gotye · Making Mirrors
You can get addicted to a certain kinda 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 it like it never happened and that we were nothing 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 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 something that I'd done [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/somebody-that-i-used-to-know-lyrics-gotye.html ] 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-oh-oh
But you didn't have cut me off Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh) I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
(oh)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect you records And then change your number (oh) Guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know) That I used to know Somebody that I used to know Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know) That I used to know
I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody
