Verse:
                                                   
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
                                       
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, that everybody knows
                                                
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
           
One more try (try)
          
One more try
                                       
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

Verse 2:
                                                 
I don’t care what 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 radios on, you 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, that nobody really knows
                                        
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
                                     
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
                                              
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
           
One more try  (try)
         
One more try
                                      
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows


Bridge:
              
Oh I wish you'd understand
             
Oh, just an ordinary man
                  
Wish that we'd have 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 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, that everybody knows
                                                
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
            
One more try  (try)
         
One more try
                                        
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
