Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye | Cover by Cantor von Vibin' Bardcore for the noble, the knave, and the chronically online. Lyrics: Oft now and then, I muse on days we spent together, When thou didst say thy heart was full, thou couldst have died of joy. I told myself thou wert my destined path, Yet still I felt so lonely in thy company— A love that burned, yet left an ache I still remember. One may grow addicted to a certain kind of sorrow, A quiet yielding to the end—aye, always the end. And when we learned our hearts no longer spoke as one, Thou said we might remain as friends, Though in truth, I felt relief the tale was over. But thou need’st not cut me off, As though our time were naught, our memories forgotten. I need not any love of thine— Yet thou treat’st me as a stranger, cold and rough. Nor need’st thou stoop so low, Bid thy friends to gather relics of our life, and change thy number. I need none of that, though— For now thou art but someone that I once did know. And now and then I think on all the times thou wronged me, Yet made me think the fault was mine alone. But I would live no more that way, Parsing every breath and word thou sayest. Thou claimed thou couldst release the past, And I should ne’er behold thee hung upon a ghost I used to know. But thou need’st not cut me off, As though our tale were never writ, our hands unjoined (ah). I need not any love of thine— Yet thou treat’st me as a stranger, harsh and rough (ah). Nor need’st thou stoop so low, Bid thy friends reclaim their records and erase thy number (ah). I need none of that though— Now thou art but someone I used to know. Somebody I used to know… Somebody I used to know… Now thou art but someone I used to know.
