Every night it's the same

I feel your heart turn cold as rain

And know that you'll be gone again

I hear the front door close

You say you got to go downtown

I guess there's someone else you've found

So why you're still coming round

Heaven only knows



Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry

Make me feel like I could die

That's the way it goes

Heaven only ever sees

How love's made a fool of me

I guess that's how it's meant to be but

Heaven only knows



I've heard it said that talk is cheap

But still your words they cut so deep

Lay me crying in my sleep

And the pain just grows

I don't know who's right or wrong

But all we had is dead and gone

So why you keep me hanging on

Heaven only knows



Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry

Make me feel like I could die

That's the way it goes

Heaven only ever sees

How love's made a fool of me

I guess that's how it's meant to be but

Heaven only knows



I'm going to turn and walk away

There's nothing left for me to say

It wouldn't change things anyway

Though, I suppose

The love I gave was always true

Well, I don't know what else to do

And how I'll ever get over you

Heaven only knows



Heaven only knows just why loving you should make me cry

Make me feel like I could die

That's the way it goes

Heaven only ever sees

How love's made a fool of me

I guess that's how it's meant to be but

Heaven only knows
