God knows you ain't pretty
God knows it's true
God knows there ain't anybody ever gonna take the place of you.

God knows it's a struggle
God knows it's a crime
God knows there gonna be no more water but fire next time.

God don't call it treason
God don't call it wrong
You're supposed to last a season
But its so strong for so long.

God knows it's fragile
God knows everything
God knows it could snap apart right now just like putting scissors to a string.

God knows it's terrifying
God sees it all unfold
There's a million reasons for you to be crying
You've been so bold and so cold.

God knows you when you see it
God knows you've got to weep
God knows the secrets of your heart
He'll tell them to you when you're asleep.

God knows there's a river
God knows how to make a flow
God knows you ain't gonna be taking nothing with you when you go.

God knows there's a purpose
God knows there's a chance
God knows you can raise above the darkest hour of every circumstance.

God knows there's a heaven
God knows it's out of sight
God knows we can get all the way from here today
if we gonna walk a million miles by candlelight.

Well I turned left just like you told me to
I get excited by the moves you do
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out
brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out

Well I turned the page from number three to four
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door
You had your mission now I'm gonna get away
When this is over and our souls are saved
When I am buried when I've got my own cave
I've done my mission so I won't be here today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me OUT

I turned right just like I thought you would
I got excited like you said I would
I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown AWAY
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
All right

My friend it feels right
It's got me and it's ringing bright so clear
It's more fun lights on
Don't you get me wrong
So neat and clean
I want to slip into a bigger dream
I saw a cat
So real no word can describe the way I feel
Look up it's still me
Fucked up how I wanted to be
So real alright
I'm gonna dance with a broken back
A role model and a bad disease
Call me if you need it
And tell you how it feels
No doubt it's still weird
It's clear leave it up to you my dear
God knows what we're doing here

Time's ticking,
you should just get up on the side
and cheer along like...
My mind's been tainted by your cunning smile
and bright side down low.
God knows if you're ever going to show,
But they all know that it's dark and there's no light, no light.

All I want is to lead you there.
All I want is to lead you there.
All I want is to lead you there.

In the waking of a ruined mess with streets depressed light.
Your dimes in prison lost the girl you kissed and the wells missed at home.

God knows if you're ever going to show,
but they all know that it's dark and there's no light. There's no light.

All I want is to lead you there.
All I want is to lead you there.
All I want is to lead you there into the light.

[Verse 1:]
Baby tell me why, why do you question
All this love that I have for you
If you look into my eyes you?ll make an exception
I will show you love like no one before
Put your trust in me, allow me to be there
Baby give me your hand to hold
Cause the feelings that I have are so complicated
That words cannot explain there is only one who knows

[Chorus:]
Only God knows how much I love you
God sees my heart and that it cares about you
God knows that I?m thinking of you
And I?m longing for you, how I wish that you knew what God Knows

[Verse 2:]
Baby tell me what, what is the reason
One good reason you?re so insecure
Cause after all that I have done
I think you should know by now
Girl I?m down for you and the love I have is pure
I wanna help you understand just how I feel for you
You?re the one that I can?t let go
Because the feeling that I have is so complicated
That words cannot explain there is only one who knows

[Chorus (2x):]
Only God knows how much I love you
God sees my heart and that it cares about you
God knows that I?m thinking of you
And I?m longing for you, how I wish that you knew what God Knows

And all of my lonely days, only God knows how lonely
And oh the sleepless nights baby, only God sees me cry
And everytime I think of you, only God can read my mind
God knows I tried to help you understand
And Heaven knows I miss you
Only God can see how much
Cause everytime you go away, I long for your touch
And when I say I love you girl, only God sees my heart
He sees my heart, only God knows

[Chorus:]
Only God knows how much I love you
God sees my heart and that it cares about you
God knows that I?m thinking of you
And I?m longing for you, how I wish that you knew what God Knows

God knows you ain't pretty
God knows it's true
God knows there ain't anybody ever gonna take the place of you.

God knows it's a struggle
God knows it's a crime
God knows there gonna be no more water but fire next time.

God don't call it treason
God don't call it wrong
You're supposed to last a season
But its so strong for so long.

God knows it's fragile
God knows everything
God knows it could snap apart right now just like putting scissors to a string.

God knows it's terrifying
God sees it all unfold
There's a million reasons for you to be crying
You've been so bold and so cold.

God knows you when you see it
God knows you've got to weep
God knows the secrets of your heart
He'll tell them to you when you're asleep.

God knows there's a river
God knows how to make a flow
God knows you ain't gonna be taking nothing with you when you go.

God knows there's a purpose
God knows there's a chance
God knows you can raise above the darkest hour of every circumstance.

God knows there's a heaven
God knows it's out of sight
God knows we can get all the way from here today
if we gonna walk a million miles by candlelight.
