Facedown on the pavement like a wounded animal

Don′t know if I'll make it

But I′m giving up controlThe sky is laughing at me

Shivers through my bones

Does it have to end so badly?

Am I out here on my own?

God only knows what's going on

My life has become the saddest song

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

God's looking down on what we have done

Watching the children play with guns

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

Someone show me mercy

′Cause I got nowhere to go

The good times always hurt me

Is it safer down below?

Wonder what comes after

Will we do it all again?

Things that used to matter

They don′t matter in the end

God only knows what's going on

My life has become the saddest song

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

God′s looking down on what we've done

Watching the children play with guns

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

God only knows what′s going on

My life has become the saddest song

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

God's looking down on what we′ve done

Watching the children play with guns

Better to burn in hell than fade away

Fade away

Fade away

Fade away

God only knows what's going on

Fade away

Fade away

God only knows what's going on

Fade away

Fade away

God only knows what′s going on

Fade away

Fade away

God only knows what′s going on

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

God only knows

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
