The Girl Everyone Knows
Verse 1:
Everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad that you came
But what they don’t see behind that pretty face
Are your silent tears
Think they’ve got you all figured out
Think they know what you’re all about
But if somehow you can hide in the crowd
Maybe that will drown out your fears
Everyone’s got something to say
About how you live your day to day
Pulling you in so many ways
That you start to lose sense of yourself
They don’t know what goes on in your mind
When you’re alone in your quiet time
But somehow you still wear your smile
Bluffing for everyone else
Hook:
You just wanna to get away
To a secret hiding place
But you’re the girl everyone knows
You try to find some normalcy
Do your best to be happy
But you’re the girl everyone knows
Verse 2:
They speculate and scrutinize
And fabricate what goes on in your life
With a list of lies as long as the Nile
And forget you’re human too
That’s why you’re watchful of who you keep around
Because their intentions can be guile
You question if they’re really down
Or are they just using you
They throw it in the tabloids for the thrill
Not knowing its your spirit they kill
Some days it gets rough, it gets too real
So you stay in recluse
And how is this any way to live
Surrounded by those who take but never give
Prisoner of your thoughts held against your will
Living everyday like a fugitive
Hook
