A Lesson That I Used To Know Video (MV)

Now and then I think of when I found my freedom
Like when I said goodbye and finally could breathe
Told myself that I deserved the best
Left behind the loneliness and all the rest
Now I'm healed, and it's a strength I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of brightness
Like the sunrise after nights, endless nights
So when I found that I could make amends
Well, I promised myself this wouldn't end
And I'll admit that I was glad to find closure

But I didn't have to shut you out
Make out like it never happened and that you meant nothing
And I don't even need your love
But I'll treat you with respect, I've grown so much
No, I didn't have to stoop so low
Holding onto grudges, blocking all the numbers
I guess that I don't need that, no
Now you're just a lesson that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times I built myself up
From all the ashes of the times that I had burned
And I don't wanna live in fear
Reading into all the shadows of the past
You said that you could move along
And I wouldn't catch you lost in memories of me

But I didn't have to shut you out
Make out like it never happened and that you meant nothing
And I don't even need your love
But I'll treat you with respect, I've grown so much
No, I didn't have to stoop so low
Holding onto grudges, blocking all the numbers
I guess that I don't need that, no
Now you're just a lesson that I used to know

Somebody new has come into my life
Bringing all the love, healing all the strife
And I'm so glad I let you go
To find this love that helps me grow
Now I'm just somebody that you used to know

But I didn't have to shut you out
Make out like it never happened and that you meant nothing
And I don't even need your love
But I'll treat you with respect, I've grown so much
No, I didn't have to stoop so low
Holding onto grudges, blocking all the numbers
I guess that I don't need that, no
Now you're just a lesson that I used to know

I used to know
Somebody
Somebody
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody
I used to know
Somebody
Now you're just a lesson that I used to know
