Someone I Used To Know

Pete Michaels


She said I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt you
It wasn’t you, and this wasn’t in my plans
He stared in disbelief, she’d stunned him into silence
After seven years how could this be the end

Chorus 1
That was a month ago today, since they went their separate ways
And when your heart is broke lord the days go slow
And when he sees her out today, his friends ask are you okay
He says yeah that's just someone I used to know

He tried to move on, he didn’t want to live without her
But if you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go
His life is empty now he’s just going through the motions
How he makes it through each day God only knows

Chorus 2
That was a year ago today, since they went their separate ways
And when your heart is broke lord the days go slow
And when he sees them out today, his friends ask are you okay
He says yeah that's just someone I used to know

Bridge:
      They say that time has a way, of healing any pain
      But looking at him you would never know
      And as the years went by, he always held out hope
      That somehow she would find her way back home

Chorus 3
That was a life ago today, since they went their separate ways
And when your heart is broke lord the years go slow
And when the end finally came, his last word was her name
And we all knew that was someone he used to know
