You're just somebody that I used to know

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

 
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 that it was over

 
But you didn't have to cut me off  

Make it 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 

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 

But had me believin 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
