"What's wrong?" Maddy asks.

"I miss her." I say.

Now and then I think of when we were together

I start to cry and Maddy hugs me tightly.

"Bad bitches don't cry." Maddy says wiping my tears.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Cassie asks.

"You just make me so happy." I say.

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

"She said what?!" Maddy asks.

"She was probably just mad, it's nothing serious. I know she loves me." I say.

I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company

"I love her so much." I say.

"It's not love, we just think it is." Maddy says.

But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember

"We force ourselves to believe that it is no matter what anyone says, but it never is." Maddy says.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end

"We have to get rid of that person at all costs." Maddy says.

"I can't be with you anymore, no matter how much I want to." I say.

So when we found that we could not make sense

"We can—" Cassie says.

Well, you said that we would still be friends

"No, we can't. And I don't want to be." I say.

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

"I did something bad." I say.

"What?" Maddy asks.

"Cassie tricked me and I fell for it. She said she wanted me back and we slept together. Then she acted like nothing happened. I'm an idiot." I say.

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

"Fuck Cassie, you don't need her. We're about to go to a party and we're gonna find you someone way better than Cassie." Maddy says.

And I don't even need your love

"Who's ready to par-tay?" BB asks barging in the room.

Time Skip

"How was school?" Tommy asks.

"Cassie stared at me the whole time in both of the classes we have together and never said a word to me." I say.

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough

"She wants you. She wants to show you what she know about chemistry and a little biology." Tommy says.

"That's not what she meant, moron." Allison says.

"So what does it mean?" Tommy asks.

"She regrets her decision and doesn't want to tell you." Allison says.

"That's the same time I just said but more complicated." Tommy says.

The doorbell rings and I answer the door.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Cassie wanted me to come over and get the rest of her stuff." Lexi says.

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I nod and let Lexi in.

"Hey Lexi, you look extra beautiful today." Tommy says.

"Is your brother always this weird?" Lexi whispers.

"Yeah." I whisper.

"There's a box of it in my room under my desk." I say.

"Okay." Lexi says walking down the hall.

"You're both dumbasses. Why would she want me back if she wants her shit?" I say.

"Doesn't matter because she doesn't deserve you anyway." Allison says.

I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

"Yeah, she's just some chick you used to know" Tommy says.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

"Some chick I used to know..." I mumble.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Time Skip

"I see you're grades are recovering." Mr Oakland says.

"I cut someone out of my life and everything has been so much easier. I'm not constantly thinking that everything is my fault." I say.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

"I know what that's like. It definitely lifts some weight — if not all of it — off your shoulders." Mr Oakland says.

But I don't wanna live that way

"I know I said I didn't want talk but you should've called me so I could tell you that I didn't want to talk." Cassie says.

"What the fuck does that mean?" I ask.

Reading into every word you say

"I'm proud of you." He says.

I smile and leave.

I walk into the hall and see Cassie holding hands with Nate as they walk by.

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (Ahhh)

"Real classy, real fucking classy." Maddy says.

"It's fine, we don't need them. We can play dirty too." I say.

And I don't even need your love (Oooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (Ahhh)

"Game on." Maddy says.

Time Skip

I feel someone grab my arm and I look up.

"We need to talk." Cassie says making me stand up.

She takes me to the bathroom and shuts the door.

"What you doing? Why are you stooping so low?" Cassie asks.

No, you didn't have to stoop so low (Oooh)

"There is no innocent one in this game for two. You wanna play dirty, so I'm gonna play dirty." I say.

"How am I playing dirty?" Cassie asks.

"You're all over Nate and you made Lexi come to my house to get your shit." I say.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (Ahhh)

"So, yeah, I'm gonna stoop that low." I say.

I guess that I don't need that though (Oooh)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

"I'm going home with Maddy tonight and there's nothing you can do about it." I say.

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

I open the bathroom door and walk out.

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

"You wanna get out of here?" I ask.

(I used to know)

"Mmm, sure." Maddy says.

(That I used to know)

I smile and hold my hand out.

(I used to know)

She smiles and grabs it.

Somebody
