Gotye Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics

 
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.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gotye/somebody_that_i_used_to_know.html ]
But you didn't have to cut me off,
Make out like it never happened,
And that now we're 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 your just somebody that I used to know,
Now your just somebody that I used to know,
Now your just somebody that I used to know.

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
And 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 now 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,
Somebody,
I used to know,
Somebody,
Now your just somebody that I used to know,
Somebody,
I used to know,
Somebody,
Now your just somebody that I used to know,

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody

They started out in love and happy it was new and exciting but their differences over time made them miserable. They stayed together making each other more and more unhappy until one day things got so bad they felt like being alone was better than being together. Once apart for awhile he starts missing her and calls but she changed her number. Then he realizes it really is over and deep down he thought she would be the one to come back in reality its him that is carrying a torch.

He's upset because he let somebody that he used to know borrow his records,and then they changed their phone number and he couldn't get them back.

First verse: clear pang of reminiscent hurt. Followed immediately by justification for why it... Must have been a good thing it ended. Second verse: a continuation of the rationalization for why it was a 'good thing' in spite of the hurt. Clearly it wasnt a healthy relationship, but their codependency was his 'drug' (addicted to a certain kind of sadness) and his withdrawal from her attentions leaves him dejected. Chorus: the pain and the rationalization collide in frustration. The other was clearly more over it than he was--facebook pictures (collect your records) down even... Like he never happened, and he is maddened because he keeps looking at her online, seeing her life from afar. Lover idealising and yet comptarmentalising at the same time. Second half to come. Maybe.. I got add

They loved each other, but split up. They were going to be friends, but they left each other in the cold.

Somebody that i used to know makes me think of maybe someones ex. They are singing about somebody that they used to know and the lyrics 'you didn't have to cut me up' makes me think they are spreading rumours about that person which makes them feel annoyed and upset.

The guy wasn't in love with the girl but she was. When she realized this, she ended the relationship and he was glad it was over. They decided to remain friends but she grew bitter from the fact that he screwed her over by being in a relationship with her all the while being hung up on his previous gf. The whole relationship she thought it was something she had done to cause the disconnect b/w them but near he end she realized he wasn't over his old gf and hence their problems. As a way to punish him, she decides to cut him off completely. Hurt him for hurting her and not feeling the same way for her . It works, once he realizes he's been cut off, he is hurt and thinks its unfair that she's acting like he's a stranger and they shared nothing. He is now hung on her because she cut him off and they both have bitterness towards him but she is able to move on where as he feels like he didn't get closure.

Didnt know what he had til he lost her, can't believe she just drop out of his life like it was nothing.

Yeah, at first they felt perfect and complete. But as time folds.. They realized they don't match. So they separated ways.

This is what happened to me and to my best friend.. I miss the old her.. The times we spent together and the feeling of completeness at her side..

But now.. She is just somebody that i used to know... :'(
