Somebody That I Used To Know is a song that Fifth Harmony singer Ally Brooke covered before her X Factor audition. It seems to be very autotuned. It is also the song she sang for her first bootcamp. Only a few seconds of this bootcamp are seen though. You can see it at the end of the first video.
The song earned Belgian-Australian singer Goyte, who wrote and produced the song, and his duet partner, Kimbra, two Grammys including Record of The Year.
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 lonley 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 happend
and that we were nothing
and I don´t even need your love
but you treat me like a streanger
and that feels so rough
You didn´t have to stoop so low
have your friends collect your records
and then change your numbers
I guess that I don´t need that tough
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 happend
and that we were nothing
and I don´t even need your love
but you treat me like a streanger
and that feels so rough
You didn´t have to stoop so low
have your friends collect your records
and then change your numbers
I guess that I don´t need that tough
now you´re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody (I used to know)
Now you´re just somebody that I used to know
