Somebody That I Used To Know

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, 
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 your just somebody that I used to know, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, 
Now your 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. 
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, 
Somebody, I used to know, 
Somebody, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, 
Somebody, I used to know, Somebody, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, I used to know 
That I used to know 
Somebody...

Not again...

I see you slipping away from us
vanishing ever so slowly
I feel so helpless
I can't make time stop
I can't make you fight
when it seems that you have given up

I wish it was just like before
when you were strong and healthy
when you would tell me happy stories
and tuck me in bed to put me to sleep

But all I can do now
is to be here for you
tell you that I love you
try to make you smile again

I know that everything seems bleary
confusing
cluttered
but I hope you find it within you
that your heart may remember
just how much we love you.

Happy Birthday Daddy


Happy birthday to the greatest hero of my life!
You would have been 65 years old
and we could have enjoyed the "senior" jokes
Until we meet again...
We love and miss you so much.
