Lyrics
Everybody Knows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm pretty sure you've heard me
I'm a local celebrity
But not the kind you look to Hollywood for
No flashlights or autographs
In fact, people avoid me if they can
I got no fans hanging right outside my door
And I hear them whispering when I pass
Saying to each other "is that the man with a broken heart?"
'Cause you tore it apart
And now everybody knows my name
Everybody feels my pain
But you don't even care
And you're so unaware
I'm left to deal with the shame
Now everybody knows that I'm
Just a bum without you by my side
Welcome to the show
Everybody knows
Everyone, but you
Everyone, but you
I got a thousand friends who follow me
Just to read about my misery
I'm popular for reasons that I hate
And I strike up a conversation
Most time with total strangers
Anyone who listens to my fate
But they shake their heads
And they walk away
And all I'm left with is this fame
And a broken heart
'Cause you tore it apart
Now everybody knows my name
Everybody feels my pain
But you don't even care
And you're so unaware
I'm left to deal with the shame
Now everybody knows that I'm
Just a bum without you by my side
Welcome to the show
Where everybody knows
Everyone, but you
Everyone, but you
Everyone, but you
Now if I die today would you even come?
Written on my grave would say "here lies someone
With a broken heart"
Cause you tore it apart
Everybody knows my name
Everybody feels my pain
But you don't even care
And you're so unaware
I'm left to deal with the shame
Now everybody knows that I'm
Just a bum without you by my side
Welcome to the show
Where everybody knows
Everyone, but you
Everyone, but you
Everyone, but you
I'm pretty sure you've heard of me
I'm a local celebrity
That all the people know
Everyone, but you
