Everybody Knows Lyrics

Lyric discussion by SOULCHILD 

Cover art for Everybody Knows lyrics by John Legend

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.

I got teary eyed reading this. So true.
