Somebody I Used to Know -Gotye
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
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
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 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 we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
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
I used to know
That I used to know
It doesn’t get any easier as you get older: a week before my 30th and I’m single, renting a house with 3 other people I don’t even like, doing a 9-5 grind that sucks at my soul, hooking up with old school friends because I can’t get proper dates, and being insanely jealous of my girlfriends who are marrying off, babying up and mortgaging out of the city.
I don’t even hope it changes.
I want to be a bitter old cat lady spinster.
Just had the best 2 hour conversation with my ‘closest in she’s sister. Haven’t talked that long or that well in years. :)

This is the kind of night where I would call you. The kind of weather that allowed me to bolster my courage and call you. The energy in the air not letting me rest alone. I was brave, and I’d call, and we’d share it all together. I can’t call you anymore. I don’t want to call you. But I miss sharing this with someone. What a wonderful gift, this night and the clouds.
