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
