Description
There are friendships that quietly crack like old photographs in a frame. Once upon a time, everything was simple - late-night conversations, mutual “let's meet up” invitations, ease in the little things. And then all that remains is a text message instead of a call, unspoken words instead of closeness, and a strange feeling: the person seems to be there, but they are already different. The song sounds like a swing between nostalgia and anger, between the desire to return and the understanding that the way back is closed. It's bitter, but truly alive - like any story where “I know you” suddenly turns into “I don't know you at all.”

Lyrics and translation
Original
You came over for a nightcap
Just to catch up, did you mean that?
On the table there's a photo, I should've put up
Now I don't know
'Cause we started off as friends
I didn't mean for that to end
So it seems you found something better
Got a new place, is your life back together?
'Cause I don't know you
Like I used to
I don't know you
Like I used to
Should've called you on your birthday
But I texted, "Are we okay?"
"I would be there if you'd have me"
I said gladly, now you're pushing me away
And you blame it on your mood
Expecting me to see right through
Well, don't assume
We're lost in translation
Sleeping on the train
Left my bags at the station
'Cause I don't know you
Like I used to
I don't know you
Like I used to
And every now and then, I wonder how you've been
And if you're really happy, or barely hanging in
'Cause I don't know you
Like I used to
Maybe I'm stuck
Maybe I'm selfish
Fucked in the head
Just never felt this
Sympathy, in my whole life
For a kid who never learned to compromise
But it started off with you
Deflecting every point of view
Of course, you do, I'm done pulling favors
Try that shit again and I won't see you later
'Cause I don't know you
Like I used to
I don't know you
Like I used to
And every now and then, I wanna let you in
I know you'll end up angry at something that I did
'Cause I don't know you
Like I used to
