GOTYE – SOMEBODY 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
I 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 you're just somebody that I used to know
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
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 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

Role Play

STUDENT A

Recently you have broken up with a girl. You still have feelings for her, but you’re so arrogant to admit it. You run into her in a party and try to talk to her to ask her why you have lost contact. You think about her all the time and have tried to call her at her mobile but she doesn’t answer and her line appears to be disconnected. You pretend she’s not important to you even though you feel heartbroken after the separation. Try to convince her to keep in touch and be friends again.

STUDENT B

You went to a friend in common’s party because they told you he was not coming but you run into him and now he’s trying to get in touch with you again. Try to convince him that you have a new life and that you don’t want to see him again.
