God only knows

I never thought
You'd mean so much to me
I never signed up
For caring like this

Can I stay strong
Will it just make me weak
I can't protect you
You should be relieved

God only knows
How long we've got
Who writes the plot
Who'll get a shot

I've lost it all
I didn't have a clue
I never wanted
To learn to hold on

You gave me hope
You made me look at you
You got me thinking
I could be wrong

God only knows
Where we are bound
Will we arrive
There safe and sound

Who can say (ah)
Where's that place (ah)
(Ah ah)

This is the song
I'll never sing for you
It's safely hidden
There it will stay

You are too close
Even if you are true
I'm too exposed
I must turn away (ah)

God only knows
How long we've got
Who writes the plot
Who'll get a shot

Will I be free
Will I be lost
Without you
