Lyrics for Everybody Knows
Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind Would you know me and see behind the smile I can change like colors on a wall Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all I think I hide it all so well Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows Looking through the crowd I search for something else But every time I turn around I run into myself Here I stand Consumed with my surroundings Just another day Of everybody looking I swore they'd never see me cry You'll never see me cry Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows You say I'll pay the price That's the chance that I'll take Though you may think I'm telling lies But I just call it getting by Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows I am just barely getting by
