[Verse 1]
Sitting at this party
Wondering if anyone knows me
Really sees who I am
Oh, it's been so long since I felt really known
Fragile in the morning
Can't hold on to much of anything
With this hole in my hand
I can't pretend that we always keep what we find
Oh yes, everybody splits apart sometimes

We've all become strangers
Even to ourselves
We just can't help

It's not just me, it's everybody (Everybody)
Eh, eh, eh
[Post-Chorus]
Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody
[Outro]
Oh, it's not just me, it's not just me
It's not just me, it's everybody
It's not just me
