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

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 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 


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 


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


it's better without you.
