Somebody That I Used To Know Lyrics
Having burned through the Australian charts late in 2011, Gotye’s sad tale of lost love continued to climb the charts on US soil in 2012 and 2013. The emotionally charged “Somebody That I Used To Know” details a mutually ended relationship in which one person feels a pain that the other refuses to feel.
[Verse 1: Gotye]
Now and then, I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy, you could die
I 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Gotye]
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 it was over
[Chorus: Gotye]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
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
I 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

[Verse 3: Kimbra]
Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over
But 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
[Chorus: Gotye]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (Ah)
And I don't even need your love (Ooh)
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough (Ah)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low (Ooh)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (Ah)
I guess that I don't need that, though (Ooh)
Now, you're just somebody that I used to know
[Outro: Gotye, Gotye & Kimbra]
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
