I ain't gonna lie to you and say it didn't hurt To see you with someone new and you were wearing my old blue shirt But it didn't kill me until we said hello And I became someone you used to know Like a friend like a fool like some guy you knew in school Didn't we love didn't we share or don't you even care I know we said we were through but I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know If you didn't tell him about those weekends at the coast Or how we use to argue about who loved who the most Well, I guess I won that one cause I still need you so But to you I'm just someone you used to know Like a friend like a fool like some guy you knew in school Didn't we love didn't we share or don't you even care I know we said we were through but I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know Didn't we love didn't we share or don't you even care I know we said we were through but I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know I'm not someone you love I'm someone you used to know
