I love fairy tales about shoes that dance on their own
About prince and princess in glittering dresses on festivals
I love sunsets when the world seems so sweet
Everything inside me is longing for a happy end

Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone?
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
But this ain't life it's all about this game

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same

I love to stand still, feel the wind in my hair
Taste a raindrop spy out a bookshop
And observe the people reading there

Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone?
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
But this ain't life it's all about this game

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same

I whistle during shopping and weep when there's no way out
From time to time I even laugh out loud

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
Oh I don't like this game

Everybody, oh everybody knows, everybody knows
