I refuse to apologize;
I have the right to feel the way I do.
I know in life there are no guarantees;
but how could I have known what you would do?
So let the rain pour down on me
and wash away the loneliness that used to be
you and me.
You had my soul;
You were my everything.
But you disappeared in the media glare
I'm not ashamed of all I did for you.
The tables have turned; it's no surprise.
So don't stand and stare.
The tides of change rush over me,
and in the end, the love I gave is no longer there.
Like a cheap motel,
You just weren't fair.
chorus
When everyone really knows;
everyone knows
I'm not to blame.
When everyone knows;
I took the blows
again and again.
And that's how it goes;
the truth it will show
you bare the shame.
When everyone knows, everyone knows,
everyone really knows.
I will choose to let you go,
remembering the better part of you.
I hope you find
what you're looking for.
And maybe one day you might see the truth;
to stop the pain and find a way to realize
that you can't save yourself this time.
No, not this time.
repeat chorus
When everyone really knows;
everyone knows
I'm not to blame.
When everyone knows;
I took the blows
again and again.
And that's how it goes;
the truth it will show
love's not a game.
When everyone knows, everyone knows,
everyone really knows.
