Aeon - Second Life Blogging::.: Song - Somebody That I used to Know

Photography by Fayette Aeon

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 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

(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

I really feel with this song, and normally I don't think of it as two different people singing, but the same person with different aspects and thoughts. I am sure there are plenty of people that can relate to this song, and it's lyrics. There are three versions of this song that I really like, which will be linked below. I can say that I feel very similar to the lyrics. I feel that there have been people I have dated that now are distant strangers, but the broke off was so 'friendly' that our relationship afterwards was definitely up in the air, and we were probably not on the same page of where, or what our relationship was now. There have been people in my life that I can place in the other person's shoes. I never confront them of it because I try to be respectful and not burn bridges. Plus a lot of people aren't that comfortable telling it how it is, nor hearing it for how it is. Sometimes it is just easier feeling it through a song. Can you relate to this song? Know someone that might be able to? Comment below and tell me what you think of this song, or the photos I did for it.
