SENSE        SADNESS       STRANGER      THOUGH      BELIEVING        ACHE

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 …………………..  I still remember.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of ……………………..,        
Like resignation to the end,                   
Always the end,
So when we found that we could not make ……………………,
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 now we're nothing,
And I don't even need your love,
But you treat me like a …………………..,                           
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 …………………..,
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 …………………… 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...

 Grammar tip:

- USED TO + infinitivo lo usamos para expresar hábitos del pasado,cosas que solíamos hacer en el pasado y que generalmente no las hacemos más en el presente. Por lo tanto decimos así:

- I used to play in the street as a child. (Jugaba en la calle cuando era chico.)

- She used to wear glasses. (Ella usaba anteojos.)

Importante!: Used to sólo lo usamos para hábitos del pasado, acordate que para hábitos en el presente usamos el presente simple.
