Only God Knows

[Chorus] Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows how hard I've been trying Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows the trouble on my mind [Verse 1] "There's more to life than living", a wise man told me this Or maybe it was me who wrote it, I can't remember which In any case what I mean, life's an unfinished poem Don't go mad trying to figure out the ending The day that Norman died, I found out through an email The irony of that, I will not discuss in detail My future is on thin ice and my past is all online But only God knows the trouble on my mind [Chorus] Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows how hard I've been trying Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows the trouble on my mind [Verse 2] My walls are filled with artwork, my art is filled with paint My head is filled with big old thoughts of all the things I ain't I bet you know what that's like, though you never drop your guard Only God knows the places that you're scarred I'm sitting on a park bench in the city I don't know Trying to convince myself that I'm not all alone But my immediate surroundings suggest otherwise Only God knows the trouble on my mind [Chorus] Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows how hard I've been trying Only God knows Only God knows Only God knows the trouble on my mind (mind) Only God knows the trouble on my mind (on my mind) Only God knows the trouble on my mind
