EVERYBODY
Everybody becomes a coach
When things go the other way,
Telling you all you should have done
To make that special one stay;
But what do they even know
About love and its heartbreaks?
--Do they know how much you tried
To make that special one stay?

The young would call you a fool,
The old would accuse you of pride;
And both altogether might think
That you're way out of your mind!
But what would they ever know
About love and its madness?
--Would they ever stop to feel
That you're way out of your mind?

When all that you've got left
Is your heart broken in pieces,
Many a folk would seem to care
While the pain only increases;
The guilt, they'd presume is yours
For letting the ball out of play
--And that is what you get in love
When everybody becomes a coach!
