Everybody Knows

this song really describes the way you feel after 'it's over'. whether it ended badly, mutually, he royally fuck'd you over, it doesnt matter.. you still stuck in a sorta transition between the past and the present. and everyone including yourself says move forward, forget about it but nobody really understands.

and somehow the 'what if's' seem to haunt us.. 'what if it were different'.. 'what if he still loved you' .. 'what if he wanted you back'.. 'what if he was truly sorry'.. the shitty part is that pride prevents you from ever knowing or listening.

the only thing thats really left for you to do is the inevitable.. move on and wish him all the best. time is a healer.

probably relating this more to myself than of objectively viewing this song but..

i met this girl a few summers ago, we both went away to college, and she ended it due to the distance/another guy..whatever. i always tried to tell myself that it didn't matter, but in reality it really hurt.

i think i'm over it, but there's always something that happens that makes me think what could have been. lame.

more to this song: i think it's about understanding the relationship is over, but even while knowing that, you still have the slightest hope that it'll work itself out.

"I still can't believe you found somebody new but I wish you the best....I guess."

i know exactly how that feels. you want them to be happy, but you know inside of you, you're dying. this song hits the hole in my heart.

I thought that he was kind of saying that nobody knows how to give advice to you because you're the only one feeling what you're feeling. Other people may understand or can try to put themselves in your shoes but when it comes down to it, nobody really knows how to ease your specific hurt. Even if their pain is really similar to yours, it can never be the same so they'll never be able to really "know."

Also, i agree with ayrock on the wishing them the best.."i guess" part. We'd like to be happy for them but we can't when we're not happy for ourselves, inside we'd all like them to beg us back...

"Everybody know but nobody really knows" Refers to how everybody knows that two people break up but they don't really know the reasons of how or why.

He seems to not be able to get over the end of a relationship.

"And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy" Reminds me of a girl that thinks she is the only one with problems. No matter how hard the guy tries to make it work and talk, she uses her "issues" as a crutch. He resents this, especially after trying so hard to no avail.

She leaves him by following the advice of others. He isn't sure if this is really what she wants, which makes it all the more difficult.
