Everything, Everything Lyrics

I can use my head again
I always suffered then
My heart is stolen, that is sure
But I'll run for ever more

You know there's not a soul alive who understands you like I do
It's okay my love, no need to explain

There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything

We shoulda learned to breathe again
Before we suffocate
All this talk but even then
We ex-communicate
I've never known another love who looks at me the way you do
And sees the light, the dark, the truth and my real name

You know there's not a soul a live could understand you like I do
It's okay my love, no need to explain

Oh
There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything

There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything

They told everything, everything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As I see it, this song is about a break-up. The speaker says that she finally sees "the truth", can "use her head again"; this could mean that she was blind before and not herself because she was so in love. And now that their love has decreased, she sees that they are not meant to be together and her partner knows it, too ("Your eyes said it all"). They still love each other, he knows her better than anyone else and she loves him more than anyone will ever love him, but for some reason, they have to break up and cannot be together. Maybe it is not a sad song, but actually a song about a happy love, but this is my interpretation, maybe it's because I've been in that situation.

I think this song talks about two people being madly in love, however, the timing isn't right, or perhaps she is the other woman. They know that even though his heart belongs with her, that he must return home, or to his obligations. "Not looking away", is her forcing him to acknowledge the pain he has caused his so-called love.
