Everybody Knows
Legend John Lyrics

It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
The singer is struggling to cope with the pain they feel.

I'm trying to find the words to say, please say
The singer is trying to communicate with their partner.

It's written all over my face, I can't
The singer's emotions are apparent, but they can't express them fully.

Function the same when you're not here
The artist is unable to function properly without their partner.

I'm calling your name and no one's there
The artist is reaching out to their partner, but they are not responding.

And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
The singer wants their partner to understand that everyone struggles in life.

I still can't believe you found somebody new
The singer is having a hard time accepting that their partner has moved on.

But I wish you the best, I guess.
Although the artist is hurt, they still want the best for their partner.

'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
No one truly knows how to make a relationship work or how to ease the pain of a breakup.

How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
People may have advice on how to make a relationship work or how to move on, but there is no guaranteed solution.

We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
The singer has heard common relationship advice before.

I wish we gave it one more try
The artist wishes they had a chance to work on the relationship one more time.

One more try
The singer is repeating their desire to have one more chance.

I don't care what the people say
The singer doesn't care about rumors or other people's opinions.

They brought it all in anyway
Rumors and gossip have caused damage in the relationship.

Baby don't fill up your head with he-said, she-said
The artist is telling their partner not to listen to rumors or gossip.

It seems like you just don't know
The artist feels like their partner doesn't understand them.

The radio's on, you tuning me out,
The singer is being ignored by their partner, who is distracted by something else.

And I wish you'd understand
The singer wants their partner to empathize with them.

Oh, just an ordinary man
The artist is trying to convey that they are just a regular person with flaws.

Wish that we'd have known
The artist wishes they had been more aware of the issues in their relationship.

Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
Although people may offer advice, no one truly understands the complexities of a relationship.
