| Everybody says you shouldn’t cry
|
| Everybody’s standing by
|
| And everybody’s gonna roll their eyes
|
| If you ever do
|
| Everybody says it’s not too late
|
| You can still participate
|
| You take everybody’s bait
|
| And everybody laughs at you
|
| They’ll leave you crying all alone
|
| They’ll say they wouldn’t have if they had only known
|
| But you see the reality
|
| Behind their indulgent stares
|
| Everybody knows you’re crying
|
| No one ever really cares
|
| Everybody thinks you’re a little slow
|
| Everyone wants you to know
|
| They went through the same thing long ago
|
| And it wasn’t that hard to do
|
| Everybody says they sympathize
|
| You stand by while they describe
|
| Someone you don’t even recognize
|
| That’s supposed to look like you
|
| But they never can explain
|
| How to live with such spectacular pain
|
| And when you’re at your weakest
|
| They advise you to be strong
|
| Everybody says they’ve been there
|
| Everybody must be wrong
|
| Ooo-oo-oo-ooh
|
| Everybody knows you’re crying
|
| They send their love
|
| And love is loud
|
| They feel it’s greatly to their credit
|
| And they’re proud
|
| Of their compassion
|
| And it’s true
|
| But it doesn’t have a lot to do with you
|
| And you can’t escape the conclusion
|
| Though you don’t like what it was
|
| Everybody says they love you
|
| No one ever really does
|
| Ooo-oo-oo-ooh
|
| Everybody knows you’re crying
|
| Everybody knows you’re crying
|
| Everybody knows you’re crying |
