Somebody you used to know

Someone You Used to Know
by Zee Avi

It was helpless anyway
There’s nothing much we could do or say
Darling don’t you think it’s a shame?
that it had to end this way

So here’s to say goodbye,
our love is lost, and we cant figure why
maybe it really is about time
that we finally made up our minds

So Darling, here’s to you
i hope that when you find someone new
that she would always be true to you
to love and understand you

Soon you’ll build new memories
then slowly you’d forget about me
then i would slowly be
a distant memory

*Soon i’ll just be
that someone you used to know
But darling you will thank me
for letting you go
time is not for wasting
i hope you’ll find your intended
But i’m sorry
that your intended isn’t me

it’s not an easy thing
to shake off our history
i know that’s what you want from me
but they will always stay with me

i admit i made mistakes
but darling with you it’s just the same
if we stay there will be more to make
i dont know how much more we can take

Darling, it would be unfair
to stay with something no longer there
but it doesn’t mean i no longer care
but i’d feel like a burden you can’t bear
