Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
'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 that nobody really knows
[Verse 4]
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're tuning me out
I'm trying to speak, you're  turning me down
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
'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 that nobody really knows
[Verse 7]
Oh, I wish you'd understand
Oh, just an ordinary man
I wish we had known
Everybody knows but nobody really knows
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
'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 that nobody really knows
