Dear Somebody that I used to know,
You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you.
I wonder does it stop your heart to know. You're not my sunshine, anymore.
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
But, no more...
It's my life. It's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever!
According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
It's too bad, you're making me decide
But according to me you're stupid, you're useless
You can't do anything right
At first we started out real cool,
Taking me places I've never been before.
But your just a scrub.
No, I don't want no scrub.
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
And don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah, uh
Cause I never think about you
I'm better off without you
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
You don't spin around in my head
It's like you never existed
And I hope you don't call
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better person
You don’t care how it hurts
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep...
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
You treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
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
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Signed,
Skyscraper!!!!
