Somebody That I Used To Know

English translation

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 kinda 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 it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothin'

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

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

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 believin' it was always somethin' that I'd done

Readin' into every word you say

But I don't wanna live that way

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 nothin' (ah)

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (ah)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (ah)

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
