Somebody That I Used to Know Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
So when I go home I'll be happy to go
[Refrain]
You're just somebody that I used to know
[Verse 2]
You don't need my help anymore
It's all now to you, there ain't no before
Now that you're big enough to run your own show
[Refrain]
You're just somebody that I used to know
[Verse 3]
I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw a living past away
So you can be sure that you're in control
[Refrain]
You're just somebody that I used to know
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 4]
I know you don't think you did me wrong
And I can't stay this mad for long
Keeping a hold of what you just let go
[Refrain]
You're just somebody that I used to know
[Instrumental Outro]
