People we know are lonely
People we know are afraid
People we know are hurting
From the games they’ve played
They didn’t know they were playin’
They just wanted happiness
But the walls got higher
Those are nasty frogs they kissed
And we try to cheer them up
Say they are worthy of more
We do our best to pull them from
That isolating heartbreak store
Where you pay for your mistakes
so you can quietly go
Oh, the ones who need us the most
Are all the people we know
The people we know
The heart goes through changes
But the hardest is a love that’s lost
You can’t seem to bargain
On how much it all will cost
You turn to friends and family
Sometimes they walk away too
But I hope this is a wakeup call
That person one day could be you
And they’ll try to cheer you up
Say you are worthy of so much more
They’ll do their best to pull you from
That isolating heartbreak store
Where you pay for your misfortunes
Then quietly allowed to go
Yeah the ones we need to be there
Are all the people we know
So
If you’re going through a hardship
If it’s all blown up in your face
If you cannot find the answers
After everyone gives you space
Reach out to the ones who are close
It’s in their eyes, the ones you trust
But if they don’t then get in touch with
All the people you know, if you must
And they’ll try to cheer you up
Say you are worthy of so much more
They’ll do their best to pull you from
That isolating heartbreak store
Where you pay for your misfortunes
Then quietly allowed to go
The ones who just might be there
Are all the people you know
Oh, those who’ll help us the most
Are all the people we know
The people we know
The people we know
