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 its 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 Ill admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didnt have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing

And I dont even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger

And that feels so rough

You didnt have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

I guess that I dont need that though

Now youre 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 Id done

And I dont wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldnt catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didnt have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing

And I dont even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger

And that feels so rough

You didnt have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

I guess that I dont need that though

Now youre just somebody that I used to know

I used to know

That I used to know

Somebody...
