Lyrics

Heaven Knows

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You've spent a year staring into a mirror

Another one trying to figure out what you saw

Paid so much attention to what you're not

You have no idea who you are

But heaven knows, knows

That you're lying

As far as heaven goes, heaven goes

I just stopped trying

Now I can hear every word you're saying

I'm just not sure I want to know

You can play the fool and still follow the rules

If you seem like you care or you're good

But heaven knows, knows

That you're lying

As far as heaven goes, heaven goes

I just stopped trying

You've lost yourself in others'

Expectations of you

Now you prefer this caricature before being true

But you're better than that

You're so much better than that

I know you better than that

Now baby, tell me, what's your story?

Do you think it'll ever sell?

And what'll you do if it comes down to it?

If it all goes straight to hell?

But heaven knows, knows

That you're lying

As far as heaven goes, heaven goes

I just stopped trying

Heaven knows, heaven knows

Heaven knows

Heaven knows, heaven knows

Heaven knows that you're lying
