Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hometown hero at the bar
Burned out high life superstar, you know
Kept the buzz to fill the hole
Love the lights, stole the show
[Verse 2]
Someone I used to know
Would stay another round
Someone I used to know
Ran himself in the ground
[Verse 3]
It's been a long time coming
Couldn't keep on running
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin'
With the path you're choosin'
And it's time to let go
Of someone that I used to know
Of someone that I used to know
[Verse 4]
Rides a high that tears him down
Hates himself and loves a crowd
The king of fools, a heavy crown
Didn't know he almost drown
[Verse 5]
Someone I used to know
Would stay another round
Someone I used to know
Ran himself in the ground
[Verse 6]
It's been a long time coming
Couldn't keep on running
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin'
With the path you're choosin'
And it's time to let go
Of someone that I used to know
[Verse 7]
It's been a long time coming
Couldn't keep on running
Had to hit rock bottom to know
When you keep on losin'
With the path you're choosin'
And it's time to let go
Of someone that I used to
Someone that I used to know
