Within the context of the album, "People You Know" acts as the cynical middle ground. The album starts with the hopeful vulnerability of "Rare" and ends with the empowerment of "A Sweeter Place." But track nine is the hangover.
Selena Gomez has often been pigeonholed as a pop star, but with "People You Know," she proves she is an exceptional storyteller of quiet, modern devastation. It is a song for the nights you realize you are no longer sad about the breakup; you are just sad about the distance. Selena Gomez - People You Know -Official Lyrics-
Now I'm somebody that you used to know And you're somebody that I used to hold But we ain't talking, no we ain't speaking No we ain't speaking, no Within the context of the album, "People You
You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone People you know, they just don't get it It is a song for the nights you
We went from "How are you?" to "Who are you?" Sad, but it's true Yeah, we threw it away, threw it away And you don't even cross my mind anymore A scar I don't fight anymore I threw it away, threw it away
The next time you search for , pay attention to the space between the words. The best lyric in the song isn't actually sung loudly; it’s in the bridge where she whispers, "We used to know."
