Everybody Knows Lyrics

Songwriters: Ho, James; Prather, Kawan; Smith, Terrence; Stephens, John;

It gets harder everyday but I can't seem to shake the pain

I'm trying to find the words to say, please say

It's written all over my face

I can't function the same when you're not here

I'm calling your name and no one's there



And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy

I still can't believe you found somebody new

But I wish you the best, I guess



'Cause everybody knows that nobody really knows

How to make it work or how to ease the hurt

We've heard it all before everybody knows just how to make it right

I wish we gave it one more try, one more try, one more try

'Cause everybody knows but nobody really knows



I don't care what the people say, they're probably lonely anyway

Baby don't fill up your head with he said, she said

It seems like you just don't know, don't know

The radio's on, you tuning me out

I'm trying to speak, you're turning me down



And I hope one day you'll see, nobody has it easy

I still can't believe you found somebody new

But I wish you the best, I guess



'Cause everybody knows that nobody really knows

How to make it work or how to ease the hurt

We've heard it all before everybody knows just how to make it right

I wish we gave it one more try, one more try, one more try, one more try

'Cause everybody knows but nobody really knows



Oh, I wish you'd understand

Oh, just an ordinary man

Wish that we had known

Everybody knows but nobody really knows



And I know one day you'll see nobody has it easy

I still can't believe you found somebody knew

I wish you the best, I guess



'Cause everybody knows that nobody really knows

How to make it work or how to ease the hurt

We've heard it all before everybody knows just how to make it right

I wish we gave it one more try, one more try, one more try, one more try

'Cause everybody knows but nobody really knows

Nobody really knows, nobody really knows
