Heaven Knows
Carol Banawa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the time I wake up
Till I close my eyes
He's everywhere I go
He's all I know
Though he's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And even now he's gone
So tell me, where do I start
Coz it's breaking' my heart
Don't want to let her go
[CHORUS:]
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
Coz heaven knows
My friends keep telling me
That if you really love him
You've got to set him free
And if he returns in time
I'll know he's mine
But tell me where do I start
Coz it's breaking my heart
Don't want to let her go
Repeat chorus except last line
[BRIDGE:]
Coz heaven knows
Why I live in despair
Coz wide awake or dreaming
I know he's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so?
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Heaven knows? Heaven knows.
The song “Heaven Knows” by Carol Banawa is a heartbreaking ballad that speaks about the pain of longing for someone who’s already gone. The lyrics express the sentiment that even though the person is physically far away, their presence is with the singer every moment of the day. The love that they shared is so strong that it just keeps getting stronger with time. The singer is desperately holding onto the hope that maybe one day, the person they love will return to them. The chorus expresses this hope, but also acknowledges that ultimately, the only thing they can do is hope and pray because only heaven knows what will happen.
The second verse speaks of the contradiction of wanting to hold onto someone so tightly while also needing to let them go. The singer’s friends tell them to set their love free, but it’s evident that it’s not an easy thing to do. The bridge then speaks to the despair and hurt that the singer feels, as they bravely try to hold it together but are actually shaking inside. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the pain and hope that love can bring, and the ambiguity of the future.

He's always on my mind
I constantly think about him
From the time I wake up
Starting from my waking moments
Till I close my eyes
Until I fall asleep
He's everywhere I go
He's present in every place I visit
He's all I know
He's everything in my life
Though he's so far away
Despite being distant in miles
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
My feelings for him are continuously growing stronger
And even now he's gone
Even though he's not with me now
I'm still holding on
I'm still holding onto my love for him
So tell me, where do I start
I don't know where to begin to move on from this
Coz it's breaking' my heart
It's causing me emotional pain
Don't want to let her go
I don't want to let go of my love
Maybe my love will come back someday
There's a possibility that my love will return
Only heaven knows
It's beyond my control
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Maybe our love will overcome the distance
But only heaven knows
Again, it's beyond our control
And all I can do is hope and pray
All I can do is keep my faith and pray
My friends keep telling me
My friends give me advice
That if you really love him
If I truly love him
You've got to set him free
I have to let him go
And if he returns in time
If he comes back to me eventually
I'll know he's mine
I'll know he's meant to be with me
Coz heaven knows
Again, it's beyond our control
Why I live in despair
I feel hopeless and sad
Coz wide awake or dreaming
Whether I'm awake or asleep
I know he's never there
He's not physically present
And all the time I act so brave
Even when I try to be strong
I'm shaking inside
I'm really scared and anxious
Why does it hurt me so?
I don't understand why the pain is so intense
Heaven knows? Heaven knows.
Final reminder that it's beyond our control.
