Everybody Knows But They Wont Say

from Vietnam by Scott Allan Knost

/

lyrics

She walks into a room, lights it up like a cigarette.
a wild child in bloom, it's not her time to wake up yet.
feels their eyes on her, they burn like the sun, burn like the sun.
she entertains the thought, of being someone's "only one" again.

Everybody knows but they won't say.
Why it is, that she's not.

"I'm a puzzle by design, though I'd rather be a work of art
for every piece I find, another seems to fall apart.
I just wanna be a bird, and fly away, fly away.
wanna feel the warmth, the warmth of the sun, on my face."

Everybody knows but they won't say.
Why it is, that she can't.

with blurry eyes, she really tried this time,
to find out why she just can't be, what they need.

everyone is the same, we have a fear that eats us alive.
but we toss around the shame, to make us feel like we survived.
our own private little war, that breaks our heart, so we break their heart.
when all we ever want, is to be someone's "only one" from the start.

Everybody knows but they won't say.
What it is, that they want.
