Question 1 of 1
1. Question
Fill in the blanks with the correct lyrics from the song.
-
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
No 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 you're just somebody that I used to know
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
No 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
Somebody, I used to know
(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody
