Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye
Now and then I think of when we (1)_______ together
Like when you (2)_______ you (3)_______ so happy you (4)_______die
I (5)_______ myself that you (6)_______ right for me
But (7)_______ so lonely in your company
But that (8)_______ love, and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get (9)_______ to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we (10)_______ that we (11)_______ not make sense
Well, you (12)_______ that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I (13)_______ glad it (14)_______ over
But you (15)_______ to cut me off
Make out like it never (16)_______ and that we (17)_______ nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
No, you (18)_______ 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 (19)_______ know
Now you’re just somebody that I (20)_______ know
Now you’re just somebody that I (21)_______ know
Now and then I think of all the times you (22)_______ me over
But (23)_______ me believing it (24)_______ always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You (25)_______ that you (26)_______ let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you (27)_______ know
But you (28)_______ to cut me off
Make out like it never (29)_______ and that we (30)_______ nothing (Ahhh)
And I don’t even need your love (Oooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (Ahhh)
No, you (31)_______ to stoop so low (Oooh)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (Ahhh)
I guess that I don’t need that though (Oooh)
Now you’re just somebody that I (32)_______ know
