(Ideas)



I tried to get you to communicate instead of walking out on everything
I said let's have it out, let's go wild
Two months ago we were talking bout a wedding now we're walking past each other in a Tesco aisle
I'm as bitter as the Boddingtons I drown my sorrows in    (Holding a can of boddingtons)
I heard about that Gotye sound and borrowed it
Since you went and left all my sympathetic friends said,
"Don't worry, she's gonna come around tomorrow, kid"
They mean well but I don't believe that babe
Tomorrow never comes, I never see that day
You're the exit sign I hunt for above the front door
Because you really didn't have to leave that way
But that wasn't enough
You grabbed all of your stuff
I just sat alone in the flat, calling your bluff
Then I tried to call you after a couple of days
Your position was the same but your number was changed

But you didn't have to cut me off                                                                             (Tearing up a photo)
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing    (Vignette ,hazy, dream like shot of couple)
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough                   (Woman shouting at man, arguing)
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number              (Woman walking away)
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know                                     (shot in dark with flashlight on)


Now you're just somebody that I used to know                                                     (Burning of a picture)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to have a place in your heart now you probably don't even see my face in your head
I may as well go to sleep in sky, because I see too much space in the bed
I wanna break off the dial every tune
Because every song on the radio reminds me of you
But I can't make a record selection since your friend came to collect your collection
If I ever told I could let you go please believe I only said it in the heat of the moment
Amy Winehouse said loves a losing game she was right because I don't even see my opponent
What hurts most is that you vanished by choice, now I feel lower than Barry White's voice
Now I'm in the lobby of a studio writing a song about somebody that I used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off                                              (Loads of photos torn up on the ground)
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love          (Vignette ,hazy, dream like shot of couple becoming seperated)
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low                              (bottle smashing on wall, slow motion/reverse?)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know                                                (shot behind plain board)

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




Lyric:                                                                          Action:
I'm as bitter as the Boddingtons I drown my sorrows in
Can of boddingtons
You're the exit sign I hump for above the front door
Hold up exit sign
You grabbed all of your stuff
Bin bag/ruck sack
Then I tried to call you after a couple of days
Phone call
I may as well go to sleep in sky, because I see too much space in the bed
Bed or pillow
Because every song on the radio reminds me of you
Hold radio/ sing behind radio
If I ever told I could let you go please believe I only said it in the heat of the moment
Turning a dial onto hot, something similar
What hurts most is that you vanished by choice
Vanish oxy action
I never see that day
Blind fold?
