God knows you ain t pretty
God knows it s true.
God knows there ain t anybody
Ever gonna take the place of you.
God knows it s a struggle
God knows it s a crime
God knows there s gonna be no more water
But fire next time.
Bridge #1:
God didn t call it treason
God didn t call it wrong
It was supposed to last a season
But it s been so strong for so long.
God knows it s fragile
God knows everything
God knows it could snap apart right now
Just like putting scissors to a string.
Bridge #2:
God knows it s terrifying
God sees it all unfold
There s a million reasons for you to be crying
You been so bold and so cold.
God knows that when you see it
God knows you ve got to weep
God knows the secrets of your heart
He ll tell them to you when you re asleep.
God knows there s a river
God knows how to make it flow
God knows you ain t gonna be taking
Nothing with you when you go.
God knows there s a purpose
God knows there s a chance
God knows you can rise above the darkest hour
Of any circumstance.
God knows there s a heaven
God knows it s out of sight
God knows we can get all the way from here to there
Even if we ve got to walk a million miles by candlelight.
