Lyrics
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 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
But 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

Gotye - The Only Thing I Know Lyrics & Meanings
The Only Thing I Know Lyrics & Meanings: I’m living with your memory / In the attic in my mind / And you’ve been getting by without me / But I’ve been spending all my time / With a girl that I remember / Who’ll never leave or need to grow / Cos when you left you left your memory / Now it’s the only thing I know / / When the past gives me no comfort / And though the future is the cost / The way I’m choosing to remember / I’ll forever be the man I never was / / And you, you fade / But the memory remains the same / And I, I can’t change / And I think that living with your memory / Is slowly driving me insane / / You are perfect but you’re empty / And it gets so lonely in my mind / Cos your image in my memory’s / The only shred of you that’s left behind / You were real but then you left me / And that’s the part I can’t accept / So I’ll keep on living with your memory / Because it’s all that I’ve got left /
