Hometown hero at the bar
Burned out high life super star you know
Kept a buzz to fill the hole
Loved the lights and stole the show

Someone I used to know
Would stay another round
Someone I used to know
Ran himself in the ground

Its been a long time comin
Couldnt keep on runnin
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin
With the path youre choosin
And its time to let go
Of someone that I used to know

Of someone that I used to know

Rides the high that tears him down
Hates himself and loves the crowd
The king of fools a heavy crown
He didnt know he almost drowned


Someone I used to know
Would stay another round
Someone I used to know
Ran himself in the ground

Its been a long time comin
Couldnt keep on runnin
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin
With the path youre choosin
And its time to let go
Of someone that I used to know

Its been a long time comin
Couldnt keep on runnin
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin
With the path youre choosin
And its time to let go
Of someone that I used to
Someone that I used to
Know know know

(Know ooh)
