God Only Knows
for King Country Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin'
Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood and the ones to blame
What if we could start over?
We could start over, we could start over (over)

Oh, for the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over?
We could start over, we could start over
'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through




God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

He's there during depression.
He's there during anxiety
He's there during fear
He's there during sadness
He's there during pain
He's there during stress
He's there during guilty
He understands you
He loves you

God, bless who ever is reading this, Help them with their needs, Lord. In your name I pray, Amen.

My mental health process in a long time that I listen to this song-
1. God only knows..
2. Now my brother knows too..
3. My mom knows..
4. My dad knows..
5. I got to have treatment and now my therapist knows😊

I feel a lot better than how I felt while keeping all these problems by myself now😊. I'm so grateful that God hears my prayers and gives me strength to tell my family about my problems as well as helps me to meet a therapist who helps me with passion❤.
To anyone who's fighting different kinds of battles alone, just know that God loves you and he's working to help you get through them even when you don't feel like it. And know that there's nothing wrong with getting help when you can't bear them anymore. Sometimes God help comes from unexpected situations✨.



@Olonda

God's there when you feel unheard
God sees how they lie about you
God saw how they falsely accused you
God hears the things they say behind your back
God sees how they manipulate you
God sees how your current situation breaks you but you have stay strong
God sees all the times you've cried yourself to sleep
God saw all the times you locked yourself in the bathroom to weep and walked out like nothing happened
God saw all the times you weren't okay and nobody bothered to ask if you're okay
God saw all the times you were alone
God sees all the times you're lonely
God saw how they left you when they saw all your flaws
God sees your depression
God sees your anxiety
God sees how they made you feel
God saw all the times you felt guilty
God saw all the times you felt like you just couldn't anymore
God sees all the pain
God understands you
God saw all the times you felt like giving up
God saw all the times you continued trying
God saw when you were weak
God saw when they made you feel like you weren't good enough
God sees that dark place you're in
God sees how you're telling yourself you're okay but you're not
God knows how you feel on the inside
God sees when you fake a smile
God sees how broken you truly are
God sees how hurt you've been
God knows how that situation makes you feel
God sees your sleepless nights
God hears the hurtful things they say to you
God sees how they abuse you
God sees how the blame is always on you
God sees how your good deeds are ignored but your bad ones a constantly being brought up
God sees when they laugh at you
God sees when they mock you
God knows the heartbreak you've experienced
God sees when you try to fill the voids in your life with material things
God sees how hard you try to be strong
God sees right through your facade
God knows the real you
God forgives you
God is with you


God is the answer to ALL your problems. God loves you. God sees. God will bring you through your current situation. God is bigger than anything you are facing, have faced or will face. Psalms 91: 15 says that God will be with you in trouble, He will deliver you and He will give you honour. Just wait on Him and He will blow your mind.

Jesus loves you, unconditionally.

Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.

God never promised a life without pain, without fires or deep rivers, but He did promise that Jesus will never forsake us. Jesus loves you, He'll never abandon you

Heres my testimony. Before Christ found me i suffered from drug addiction and could not stop breaking the law. I ended up in state prison at age 20. I piccked up the Bible and cried out to Jesus for help. Since then i have accomplished more than i could imagine with His help. I was released from prison 6 months ago, today i attend church 3 times a week, read my Bible each night, have positive people in my life, i am finally the father my daughter needed, have a good job, just bought a car, and am happy. This is the power of Jesus. Hallelujah
