God only knows you've been trying
God only knows you've been striving
God only knows all the times you've tried to get it right
You stood up, then you feel back down
You prayed no one would hear the sound
That no one might discover you down here
God only knows you've been trying
God only knows you've been striving
God only knows all the times you've tried to get it right
There's no circumstance
No not even death
That can hold you back
From my love
So would you let me rest
Make space inside your chest
And you will breathe again
And we'll start over
We'll start over
