[Verse 1: Joel Smallbone] 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 [Chorus: Dolly Parton, Joel and Luke Smallbone, all] God only knows what You've been through God only knows what they say about You God only knows how it's killin' 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 'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows [Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton & Joel Smallbone] There's a kind of love that There's a kind of love [Verse 2: Joel Smallbone & Dolly Parton] 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 [Chorus: Dolly Parton, Joel and Luke Smallbone, all] God only knows what You've been through God only knows what they say about You God only knows how it's killin' 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 'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows [Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton & Joel Smallbone] 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 [Bridge: Joel & Luke Smallbone, Dolly Parton, all] 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 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 [Chorus: Joel and Luke Smallbone & Dolly Parton] God only knows what You've been through God only knows what they say about You But God only knows the real 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 [Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton & Joel Smallbone] 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 [Outro: Dolly Parton] 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
