    Gotye]
    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
    [Chorus: Gotye]
    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
    [Verse 2: Kimbra]
    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
    [Chorus: Gotye]
    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
    [Outro: Gotye]
    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

    Because the industry is so oversaturated with songs about romantic relationships, failing or otherwise, it's easy to minimise the significance of the emotions surrounding such things. Maybe I'm the only one that does this, idk, but we're at our most vulnerable around the people we like, even more so around the people we're emotionally invested in. The song does an excellent job of capturing how it can feel to have someone disappear from your life and to have all those great memories be replaced with bitterness, discomfort and oftentimes malice.

      Coming back to this song 7 years later and 1 year out of a miserable and abusive relationship, Kimbra's verse hits me in a deeply relatable way. It's a side of the relationship Gotye's character doesn't tell and he ends her verse by cutting her off with the chorus.
      I can't get over how nuanced and powerful this song is.
