"God Only Knows" lyrics

Facedown on the pavement like a wounded animal
Don't know if I'll make it
But I'm giving up control
The sky is laughing at me
Shivers through my bones
Does it have to end so badly?
Am I out here on my own?

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away
Fade away
God's looking down on what we have done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away, fade away

Someone show me mercy
'Cause I got nowhere to go
The good times always hurt me
Is it safer down below?
Wonder what comes after
Will we do it all again?
Things that used to matter
They don't matter in the end

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away
Fade away
God's looking down on what we've done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away
Fade away

God only knows what's going on
My life has become the saddest song
Better to burn in hell than fade away
Fade away
God's looking down on what we've done
Watching the children play with guns
Better to burn in hell than fade away
Fade away

Fade away
Fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away
Fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away
Fade away
God only knows what's going on
Fade away
Fade away
God only knows what's going on
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
God only knows
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
God only knows
