Everybody Knows Lyrics

Lyric discussion by aspet 

Cover art for Everybody Knows lyrics by John Legend

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...

absolutely spot on what he's trying to say, couldn't agree with you more
