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
