TW: Slight mentions of death(?)

🎵🎵🎵

Now and then, I think for 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,
But you said that we would still be friends
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 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
Had your friends collect your records, and then change your numbers
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
Had your friends collect your records, and then change your numbers
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...
