  • It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
    I'm trying to find the words to say, please say
    It's written all over my face, I can't
    Function the same when you're not here
    I'm calling your name and no one's there
    And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
    I still can't believe you found somebody new
    But I wish you the best, I guess.
    Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
    How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
    We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
    How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
    One more try
    One more try
    'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

    I don't care what the people say
    They brought it all in anyway
    Baby don't fill up your head with he-said, she-said
    It seems like you just don't know
    The radio's on, you tuning me out,
    I'm trying to speak, you're turning me down
    And I know one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
    I still can't believe you found somebody new
    But I wish you the best, I guess.
    'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
    How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
    We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
    How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
    One more try
    One more try
    One more try
    'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

    Oh I wish you'd understand
    Oh, just an ordinary man
    Wish that we'd have known
    Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
    And I know one day you'll see, nobody has it easy
    I still can't believe you found somebody new
    I wish you the best, I guess.

    'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
    How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
    We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
    How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
    One more try
    One more try
    One more try
    'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows Writer/s: JAMES HO, JOHN STEPHENS, KAWAN PRATHER, TERRACE MARTIN
