Lyrics
ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
I WAS LIVING THE THE GOOD LIFE THOUGHT I HAD IT ALL
BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING AND I TOOK A FALL
IT CAME OUT OF THE WILDERNESS OF THIS LOST SOUL
A CRY SO BEWILDERED FROM THIS HEART OF STONE
I WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS
I LISTENED TO THE PROPHETS OF DOOM DANCED TO THE DEMON DRUM
PLAYED WITH FIRE AND GOT BURNED YEAH
*** I LIVED LIFE ON THE EDGE STARRED IN A FEW HORROR SHOWS
WILL THE GOOD LORD FORGIVE ME? ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS THAT BIND YOU INSIDE
OPEN UP YOUR HEART YEAH AND FREE YOUR TROUBLED MIND
HOLD BACK THE HURRICANE THAT RAGES WITHIN
YOU FIGHT THE ENEMY YEAH YOU FIGHT TO WIN
I WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS
I LISTENED TO THE PROPHETS OF DOOM DANCED TO THE DEMON DRUM
PLAYED WITH FIRE AND GOT BURNED YEAH
*** I LIVED LIFE ON THE EDGE I'VE SEEN A FEW HORROR SHOWS
WILL THE GOOD LORD FORGIVE ME? ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
I'M GUILTY AS SIN YEAH THE RECORD SHOWS
WILL THE GOOD LORD FORGIVE ME? ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
LIKE A LONE WOLF HOWLING AT THE MOON
LIKE A WOUNDED SOLDIER COMING HOME TO SOON
I'M A FALLING ANGEL ON MY KNEES YEAH
I ASK FOR FORGIVENESS... PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...YEAH...YEAH... YEAH... YEAH
*** ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS...ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS...ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
