"Everybody's Got Something" lyrics - MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER

Everybody's got something, babe
Everybody's dreams will someday fade
Some are wishing they were someone else
Some just want to be by themselves

Some are trying to tear it down
Some are shaky on solid ground
Some confuse guilt and blame
They can't admit when they feel ashamed

You're not the first, you're not the last
It could be worse, this will pass
I know you hurt, you hurt so bad
But a light comes shining to stitch and mend
One day you'll find you're you again
It takes some time

Some are watching the enemy
Surprise kid, it's you and me
Some keep shouting and no one hears
While the fires burn and the birds disappear

Some are yearning for something real
Saying they know just how I feel
Some are waiting for a sign
Some keep praying it comes in time

I'm not the first, I'm not the last
It could be worse, this will pass
You know it hurts, it hurts so bad
But a light comes shining to stitch and mend
Someday I'll feel like myself again
It takes some time

Some are dying to be loved
Some are hiding what they're frightened of
Some will breach every vow
Some will always feel lost somehow

Some are trying the best they know
Before it's over and time to go
So save the judging for another day
Everybody's got something, babe
Everybody's got something, babe
Everybody's got something, babe
Everybody's got something, babe
Everybody's got something, babe
