Somebody, I used to know. I think...

Now & 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 & 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 happened & that we were nothing

& I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger & that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records & then change your number

I guess that I don't need, that though

How you're just somebody that I used to know.
