Only God Knows

Mike Posner

[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

"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

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
