Mike Posner - Only God Knows Lyrics






[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

  35. A.... M....

  37. J.... H....

    This is actually good.

  38. L.... N....

    wtf is wrong with me? I'm not hearing music but I don't give a pepper😯
    His voice still reach my mind and heart💗🎤👑

  39. J.... P....

    This song is one of my favorites !! 😍

  40. N.... Y....

    What The Fu... is ThaT ????

    N.... Y....

    Only god knows what is this. 😂

    N.... Y....

    LoooooL Yes xDDD

  41. w.... c....

    Buen trabajo compartire esta cansion para que se aga famosa

  42. T.... N....

    For some reason, the lack of beat and music makes this song seem much more powerful.

    T.... N....

    Sounds like a church hymn.

    T.... N....

    yes true x

  43. H.... J....

    he does too much talk-singing in parts where he should be singing. not sure why he loves doing that so often in his acoustic songs...

  44. m.... y....

    this song is so amazing

  45. W.... ....

    Perhaps he only has vocals to put emphasis on the words, it's like taking a pill in Ibiza, but this time, there's absolutely no music.

    W.... ....

    dude shut the fuck up with the whole every fucking song sound like I took I piss in your pizza Nigga.

    W.... ....

    will I take the bait

    btw nice skewered logic there

    W.... ....

    LMFAO holy shit dude "i took a piss in your pizza" best comment

  46. s.... 1....

    waiting for the remix are you?

  47. A.... L....

    Yeah remix might sound better

    A.... L....

    +Angelina Lai interesting, I like his audio songs way more than remixed ones

    A.... L....

    +Nika Tkalec but I like music more then lyrical songs

    A.... L....

    +Angelina Lai Well if it is only Seeb <3

    A.... L....

    +Charlz Nithin yes

    A.... L....

    Hey no need to be petty it's a good song

  48. A.... A....

    Hell yes Mike !

  49. B.... ....

    Pleasantly surprised. Sounds more irish folk than gospel. A Moby mix would sound ace.

  50. A.... ....

    It's like he leaves his songs half finished just so someone can remix it so he can release the remix and steal their glory....

    A.... ....

    @kholdgerman well, a recent example is summertime sadness winning a Grammy but not for Lana Del Rey.

    A.... ....

    lol do you know the name of the guy who won the grammy? Even if that is so, Posner is getting 90% of the attention and recogntition for Took a Pill

    A.... ....

    +a z a n i a h he actually wrote so many hit songs you will never hear his name for. credit, look it up.

    A.... ....

    @Johnny Yette as far as I can tell his name is Cedric.

  51. R.... Z....

    This is so great

  52. X.... V....

    Does anyone if he's religious?

    X.... V....

    +Xannah Voortman
    it says he's Jewish
    @ http://mikeposnerhits.com/mike-posner/facts-trivia/
    idk tho

  53. B.... ....

    This song dont even have a beat usually i love all his songs but this one sucks

    B.... ....

    It's an acapella, he's doing it so others can use it in their songs

    B.... ....

    you don't have brain, soul, and art you're just old guy

  54. S.... G....

    can't wait for a remix

    S.... G....

    I'm remixing this right now

    S.... G....

    slipperydie yaay

    S.... G....

    +slipperydie yaaaaaassss

    S.... G....

    vocals are enough for this song

    S.... G....
