Someone I Used to Know
Fading Memories: Embracing Change in 'Someone I Used to Know'
Lyrics
I kept the photographs but somehow they don't look the same
I have kept the photographs, but they no longer evoke the same feelings.
Like all the memories that we made
Memories we created together now seem distant or changed.
Your silence speaks so loud, am I supposed to stand and wait?
Your silence is loud, and I'm unsure if I should wait for you.
'Cause I'm done with all the games you play
I'm tired of the emotional games you play.
And every word is like a streetlight
Every spoken word is like a streetlight.
Watching them fade as you keep walking away
Watching those words fade as you walk away.
You don't see my heart is breaking
You're unaware of my heart breaking.
All these years they disappear like they never existed
Years of shared history seem to vanish.
And now, I'm running through the dark
I find myself running through the dark.
And I don't see the way
Feeling lost and unable to see the way forward.
Caught in the crossfire of you and I, no one to blame
Caught in the emotional turmoil between us, with no one to blame.
Still I don't know how this is how it goes
Uncertain about how things have come to this point.
Your colors have been shown
Your true nature or emotions have been revealed.
Now standing right in front of me is someone I used to know
Someone from my past is now in front of me, but they've changed.
So do you ever stop to think and try to call me up?
Do you ever consider reaching out and calling me?
Oh, I don't think I'm asking for much
I don't think I'm asking for much in wanting some connection.
'Cause I refuse to beg but I wish that you could see me cry
Though I won't beg, I wish you could see my pain.
We're so heavy on my shoulders
The burden of our relationship weighs heavily on me.
Every word is like a streetlight
Similar to before, each word feels like a streetlight.
Watching them fade as you keep walking away
As you leave, the impact of your words fades.
You don't see my heart is breaking
You're oblivious to the pain and heartbreak I'm experiencing.
All these years they disappear like they never existed
Years together seem to be erased as if they never happened.
Oh, and now, I'm running through the dark
Once again, I find myself running through the dark.
And I don't see the way (the way)
Unable to see a clear path forward.
Caught in the crossfire of you and I, no one to blame (to blame)
In the midst of our conflict, with no one to blame.
Still I don't know how this is how it goes
Still unsure of how our relationship reached this state.
Your colors have been shown
Your true colors have been exposed.
Now standing right in front of me is someone I used to know
A person from my past, altered and unfamiliar, is now before me.
That I used to know
Emphasizing that this person is from the past.
Guess this is how it goes
Acknowledging the inevitability of the situation.
Your colors have been shown
Your true nature or emotions have been revealed once again.
'Cause standing right in front of me is someone I used to know
The transformed person from my past is standing in front of me.
I wish that you could see the way for me that nothing's changed
I desire for you to understand that nothing has changed for me.
So who let you just walk away from me?
Questioning why you chose to walk away.
'Cause I've got nothing left to give
I have nothing left to offer or give.
And this body of mine feels so empty
Feeling emotionally empty and drained.
And now, I'm running through the dark
Once again, finding myself running through the dark.
And I don't see the way
Lost and unable to see a way forward.
Caught in the crossfire of you and I, no one to blame (to blame)
Caught in the emotional conflict with no one to blame.
Still I don't know how this is how it goes
Still uncertain about how our relationship reached this state.
Your colors have been shown
Your true colors have been revealed once again.
Standing right in front of me is someone I used to know
The person I used to know is standing before me, transformed.
