“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.”
We all have somebody that we “used to know.” That person from a past life that is now a ghost. {Once so intimate, now so distant}. Previously best friends and lovers, now old flames and strangers.
I’ve always wondered what kind of mathematics turns friends & lovers into strangers?
Is it time? Distance? Pain? Anger? Disappointment? Betrayal? Worst of all: indifference?

*I Love Gotye‘s Music & Videos!!! He {Gotye/Wally de Backer} is so creative and talented.
Gotye sings this song with so much passion.
You can see it in his eyes.
Most likely this song comes out of life experience- like some great art does.

********************************************** Somebody That I Used To Know 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 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 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 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 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 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
