somebody that i used to know - gotye feat. kimbra.

this song i just was introduced to and it applies to so many relationships right now on so many levels.

(word of caution- the video is very weird. just play it without watching the video if you so desire to listen to the actual song.)


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 happenedand that we were nothing
and i don't even need your love 
but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

 
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 and then i think of all the times you screwed me over 
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 happenedand that we were nothing 
and I don't even need your love 
but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough 


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
i used to know 

that i used to know


somebody.
