Somebody That I Used To Know
Gotye (feat. Kimbra)
Now and then I think of when we were together. Like when you said you felt so happy you could die. And I tried to tell myself that you were right for me.
But I felt so lonely, and in this situation, you can get addicted to an illusion. So when I discovered that we could not make sense. I resigned myself to the end, the inevitable end. And I admit that I was sad that it was over. Because sometimes is unbearable desire something deeply and be aware that it is not within reach.
Well, I said that we would still be friends, but I lied. It’s a little hard for you that I have cut you off. Tell my friends collect your messages and change my number. Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing. I treat you like a stranger and that is so rough. And although I think you do not deserve it. I will not do it differently. Now, you’re just somebody that I know.
Now and then I think of all the things that screwed me over. All the things to which I had to survive and move on. You said you could do it all through. But that’s a pain I still remember. And maybe I’m one of those damaged parts that will never work again. Maybe I’ve just lost faith.
You say I only need love. But I know that we do not make sense. You said that you could let it go. But I wouldn’t catch me hung up on somebody that I used to know. And maybe I really need to feel the love.
So I do not want to live that way, reading every word you say. Do not make me believe I’ve done everything wrong. I do not need it. Let me be somebody you just used to know. And be somebody that I just to used to know.


The first time I heard this song it literally made me brake and pull the car over by the side of the road — there’s something so unbelievable, universally painful about it.
Hi Servet,
It’s something that everyone who experienced the adventure of love and having your heart broken can understand, but I like the rhythm of the music, and it helps me access the sadness in a calm way and not the anger, which sometimes obscures the true feeling.
Take care!
yeah, there’s a contrast in the song between the pain and the calm reflection over what’s happened. I also really liked that video with the paints — it seemed particularly appropriate.
