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.
