What are the lyrics to That I Used To by Gotye?

(Intro)

There's a ghost behind the wall

My heart beating in the hall

I've not seen you in so long

I can still hear your song

(Verse 1)

I remember what we used to be

In the golden days now in fantasy

And the sun, it seems to always shine

When we were one of a kind

(Pre-Chorus)

And every night we'd meet at 11

Our secret spot right 'round the bend

And in the light of the silver moon

We'd steal away the night til' two

(Chorus)

Oh what a fool I was to let you go

I know that all I know

And though I tried my best to say goodbye

I thought I heard you die

When I found out my place has been replaced

And your love had been erased

I didn't mean to hurt you, like I did

(Verse 2)

But I'm not the one who left in the first place

I was there with the ring, down on one knee

And then you said to me, there's something to confess

There's another guy, so sorry, it's best we end this

(Pre-Chorus)

Our final dance beneath the street lights

As we walk away, not in perfect rhyme

And in the darkness, lost and all alone

I hear the wind, it moans

(Chorus)

Oh what a fool I was to let you go

I know that all I know

And though I tried my best to say goodbye

I thought I heard you die

When I found out my place has been replaced

And your love had been erased

I didn't mean to hurt you, like I did

(Bridge)

When I heard "I do," something broke in two

I could have cried, but not in front of you

So I'm sending this song to all of the above

To tell you that I'm through

(Chorus)

Oh what a fool I was to let you go

I know that all I know

And though I tried my best to say goodbye

I thought I heard you die

When I found out my place has been replaced

And your love had been erased

I didn't mean to hurt you, like I did

(Outro)

I didn't mean to hurt you, like I did

I didn't mean to hurt you, like I did
