Everybody Knows Lyrics

"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.

I've lived this
