A Character I Used To Know Lyrics

Now and the I think back to 2011

Back in season one when all the characters were alive

Told myself that it was just TV

But didn’t know it meant so much to me

And though it's fiction it’s an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain HBO show

Chock-full of violence and boobs, so many boobs

Characters started dying off like flies

That’s when I was forced to realize

That this show would ruin my whole life forever

But you didn’t have to kill them off

George R.R. Martin why are you such a sadistic bastard?

I went through a whole tissue box

And my friends who read the book say that there’s worse to come

Though you didn’t have to kill the king

Leaving the kingdom and it's subjects in the hands of Joffrey

I know that he was drunk and all

But now he’s just a character I used to know

Now he’s just a character I used to know

Now he’s just a character I used to know

I thought the main character was Ned Stark since he’s on the poster

That had me believing that you wouldn’t dare to kill him too

But then you put my dreams in check

When you put a sword through Ned Stark’s neck

Wasn’t ready to let him go

And I didn’t know he’d end up as a character I used to know

Then you go after Khal Drogo

God damn it Martin I finally starting to ship them

Come on he was her sun and stars

He got a god damn paper cut are you for real?

And then you brought him back to life

Killing him once was enough for you think of the fan girls!

I should have been prepared by now

For him to be a character I used to know!

(King Robert) I used to know

(Ned Stark) Now you’re just a character I used to know

(Khal Drogo) I used to know

Now they’re all just characters I used to know

Now they’re all just characters I used to know
