Everybody Knows
John Legend · Evolver [2008]
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
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
[Hook]
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 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 (try)
One more try (try, try)
One more try (try)
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
Oh oh, yeah
I don't care what the people say
They brought it all in 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 tuning me out,
I'm trying to speak, you're turning me down oh
[Hook]
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 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, try)
One more try (try, try)
(One more try)
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
Oh I wish you'd understand
Oh, I'm just an ordinary man
Wished we'd had known
Everybody knows, but nobody really knows (oh oh oh)
[Hook]
And I know one day you'll see, nobody has it easy
I still can't believe you found somebody new
I wish you the best, I guess.
[Chorus]
'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
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
(One more try)
One more try (try, try)
One more try (try)
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
Ohh oh oh oh, ohh oh oh oh, ohh oh oh oh,
Nobody really knows
Ohh oh oh oh, ohh oh oh oh, ohh oh oh oh,
Nobody really knows [Fades]
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
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
[Hook]
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 that, nobody really knows
