Someone You Used To Know.

by Zee Avi

It was helpless anyway,
There's nothing much we could do or say,
Darling, don't you think it's a shame?
That it had to end this way.

So here's to say goodbye,
Our love is lost, and we can't figure why,
Maybe it really is about time,
That we finally made up our minds.

So darling, here's to you,
I hope that when you find someone new,
That she would always be true to you,
To love and understand you.

Soon you'll build new memories,
Then slowly you'd forget about me,
Then I would slowly be,
A distant memory

Soon I'll just be,
That someone you used to know,
But darling you will thank me,
For letting you go.
Time is not for wasting,
I hope you'll find your intended,
But I'm sorry,
That your intended, isn't me.

It's not an easy thing,
To shake off our history,
I know that's what you want from me,
But they will always stay with me.

I admit I make mistakes,
But darling, with you it's just the same,
If we stay there will be more to make,
I don't know how much we can take.

Darling it would be unfair,
To stay with something no longer there,
But it doesn't mean I no longer care,
But I'd feel like a burden you can't bear,
And soon I'll just be,
Someone you used to know.
