Somebody that I used to know:
Dont be like that.
Don't act like I never had you like that.
Can't believe you put my name in your mouth,
And you spit it out like that.
Have me real lost.
Have me feeling crossed.
Can't believe you're even acting out like that.

Fact.
Fact check me if I'm wrong,
You weren't built like that.
You were built from love,
You were made like that.
So tell me what's up?

Why you changed like that?
Why you sitting here,
Spitting game like that?
That's what I taught you?
Maybe I'm the one to blame for that.
You adopted my ways,
Girl,
That's why I fear you like that.

You the only one,
That could have me weary like that.
So maybe my lack of love,
Is making you act like that.
But you know I always had you like that.
Put your guard back down,
Baby I loved you better like that.

I'll treat you better now,
For a fact.
If you'll hold me close,
And tell me you want me right back.
Give me another chance,
You know I got you like that.
I promise I'll kiss you slow,
I'll love you better,
But you can't act out like that.
Just don't leave me out like that.
Cause I would never treat you like that.

Self: You had your chance ,
And you left.
You broke apart of me.
And you left.
You messed with my head.
Made me feel wanted,
And you left.
Your words are just words.
Words that I've fallen for before.
And even then,
When I forgave you,
Time and time again.
You left.
Your words carry no weight.
That's why I left.
I'm not falling for it.
You'll just have to be misfortunate.

Somebody that I used to know:
Oh,
So that's how we acting now? 
You're done?
Just like that?
You're gonna keep your guard up,
Not let me in like that?
I guess you adopted my ways.
I guess we ending like that.

Self: Yeah,
I hope you know you changed my heart,
For the worst.
Now I'm picking up the pieces,
Trying to make myself work.
Please leave me alone,
Please don't ever reach out.
Don't ever come back.
I'm leaving you in the past.
And yeah.
I guess we really are ending like that.
On my terms and not yours.
