God knows why I said the things,
I said to you that made you change,
The things I wish I'd never said,
The things that killed the love you had.
We both said things we shouldn't have, did you mean the things you said What I said, I didn't mean.   Those words came from the fear and pain.

God only knows how love can sting.
God only knows ...  Everything............

I wonder if you lay at night and think of how much love we shared ?
I wonder if your heart aches, too and if there's any love for me in you ?

Bridge:
... Or are you confused and wondering,
How we could make it right again ?
Or are you sure the love has died
And simply cannot risk the pain ?

God knows where I went wrong with you.  
Your feelings for me changed so fast.
One day you said you'd never leave.
The next day was to be our last.

You said the change was gradual
Yet to me it seemed so fast.
Words are just words.
How could they kill the huge amount of love you claimed to have.

Maybe I see it differently.
The love came only from one side.
The time that's passed has let you see,
True feelings that you cannot hide.

Chorus:  God only knows how love can sting, etc.
