Everyday Lyrics

I got lost, couldn't find my way
And I guess there's nothing more to say
Love can make you blind, make you act so strange
But I'm here and here I will stay

So everyday I cry (everday...)
Yes everyday I fall (everyday...)
Do you ever wonder why
why I love everything about you

But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry
ourselves to sleep we will

It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
Will never see the light of day

So everyday goes by (everday...)
And everyday I fall (everyday...)
It makes me wonder why,
My life's worth nothing without you

But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'cos every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will

You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no
You'll never know just how close we were
You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no
You'll never know
No you'll never see

(instrumental break)

The book closes and we try to forget
But I know that things won't change
How we feel, how life goes on
And that seems so strange

And so the light fades away (everyday...)
Try, try, try as I may (everyday...)
I can't stop thinking about you
It seems my life's worth nothing without you

But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will

Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder

This song is almost autobiographical for me. I was with someone who was totally amazing in every way (smart, funny, beautiful, passionate, accomplished, family-oriented: the total package); she was more than I could ever, ever wish for. We were totally taken with each other and completely happy together. Somehow, over a short period of time,I became convinced that I was not enough for her... I lacked confidence and I thought that I'd hold her back. I also had a pretty dangerous job that would require us to be apart for long periods of time and I was obligated to do that job for a number of years. I decided to end the relationship (my love for her made me act so strangely). It crushed her and it crushed me, too. I was so completely in love with her even after leaving her. I thought of her/still think of her everyday (multiple times a day). We didn't communicate almost at all (a couple short phone calls and a card) over an 18 year period. I married someone else and have a family (here I am and here I will stay). After 18 years apart, I decided I had to find her... we have resumed communicating and have stay in contact for the past 10 years. She never married but is in a relationship (no kids). She and I still love each other. I'm unable to let my love for her see the light of day because I vowed to be faithful to my wife. The only part of the song that isn't accurate for me is that I never, ever tried to forget her and I don't think I'm worth nothing without her. I was so wrong to leave her... she and I would have been amazing together.

@crfdiver It was very sad reading this. I was with the wrong person for many years because I thought it was the right thing to stay in a relationship with them because I committed myself to them even though I never they were not my true love. Do what is right in your heart or you'll never be happy. I know it's been more than 10 years since you wrote this, I hope you're happy. We all deserve happiness.

The song is about wanting someone you can't have. I would guess that in some ways that this other person felt the same way about him but their relationship couldn't be for various reasons (probably because they were both married to other people).

It is a beautiful song. Phil Collins is an excellent writer. One of his albums consisted of letters he had written his wife as they were divorcing.

Half the songs from his first two albums were about his failing marriage. And half of those were bashing his wife. The other half were trying to make up to her.

This is such a beautiful song. It is weird that there aren't a lot of comments about it. It's a very deep and emotional song. Very painful song too.

I agree that this is a beautiful song, but I'm not sure what exactly it is about. I think it is after a breakup. He knows he needs to move on, but he can't stop thinking about her.

This song is so emotional, and it feels the same for everyone who loves someone He cannot have. you seems lost in thought forever even as you try so hard to go on with your life.

This song is one of my all-time favourites from Phil Collins! but until recently i never knew it was him who sang it! back in 1995 this song was being played ALL over the tv and radio at least once every couple of hours for a time.... so WHY has it been TOTALLY forgotten? Ive not heard it played for almost a decade, and it was only because I stumbled across it by accident that I heard it again! I never forgot this song, it was in my head for years after i heard it, and its so tender and smooth. It reminds me of the good old days when I used to listen to this song on my first ghetto blaster when i was fiddling around with the radio frequencies and seeing what i could pick up instead of doing my school homework! hehe

I Think this song is about a break up....and probably the girl have left the guy.....and the guy doesnt want to call it quits and need her so badly...but he have got no choice....so he cries expressing his pain.....
