John Legend
"Everybody Knows"
It gets harder everyday
but I can't seem to shed the pain
tryin ta find the words to say,
Please stay.
It's written all over my face
and I can't function the same when you're not here
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.
[chorus:]
'Cause everybody knows, but
nobody really knows
how to make it work
or how to ease the hurt.
We've heard it all before, and
everybody knows
just how to make it right
I wish we gave it one more try.
try, try. One more try
try, 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
the radio's on, you're tuning me out
I'm trying to speak, you're turning me down
and I know 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.
[chorus:]
'Cause everybody knows, but
nobody really knows
how to make it work
or how to ease the hurt.
We've heard it all before, and
everybody knows
just how to make it right
I wish we gave it one more try.
try, try. One more try
try, try. One more try
'cause everybody knows, but
nobody really knows.
[bridge:]
I wish you'd understand
I'm just an ordinary man
I wish that we'd have known
that everybody knows
but nobody really knows.
