"Somebody That I Used To Know" lyrics
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
(originally by Gotye)
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, yeah
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 could still be friends
But I 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
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
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know (Used to know)
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
You 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
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
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
(Somebody)
That I used to know
(Somebody)
That I used to know
(Somebody)
That I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Asking Alexandria - "Into The Fire" Take him out back
Take him out back
Take him out back
I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to do with this
These hands, this mind, this instability
From a cage I created, to a hell that heaven made...
Black Veil Brides - "Crimson Skies" We're waiting for collapse
In the cold and lonely mirror
Reflections all you see
Of the world you made on your own with no mercy
And they call you a liar
But you won't surrender
And they can choose...
Daughtry - "Heavy Is The Crown" Never needed any reason
To find deliverance
Like a cancer running through my veins, oh
That's never gonna give in
See 'em march like lambs to the slaughter
Toy soldiers lined up on the altar
I was...
Stone Sour - "Bother" Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold...
Nine Lashes - "Anthem Of The Lonely" A heart made of stone
Callous and bone
Fracture and tear it out
To let it go
And to think
I called it my own
And I would have never thought
The pain could grow
So I'll break it
Knowing what you...
