Heaven Knows Lyrics

You've spent a year staring into a mirror
Another one trying to figure out what you saw
Paid so much attention to what you're not
You have no idea who you are

But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying

Now I can hear every word you're saying
I'm just not sure I want to know
You can play the fool and still follow the rules
If you seem like you care or you're good

But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying

You've lost yourself in others'
Expectations of you
Now you prefer this caricature before being true
But you're better than that
You're so much better than that
I know you better than that

Now baby, tell me, what's your story?
Do you think it'll ever sell?
And what'll you do if it comes down to it?
If it all goes straight to hell?

But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying
Heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows
Heaven knows, heaven knows
Heaven knows that you're lying

What is the Meaning of Heaven Knows?

This emotionally charged composition delves into the complexities of self-perception and authenticity. The lyrics suggest an individual's struggle with self-identity, having lost themselves in the expectations of others. The repeated phrase "heaven knows, that you're lying" could imply a denial of one's true self for societal acceptance. However, the song also conveys a message of hope, as it encourages the person to recognize their worth beyond these false pretenses. The final lines hint at a confrontation with reality and potential consequences if they continue this deceitful path. It's a poignant reminder to live authentically regardless of external pressures. #Authenticity #SelfIdentity #SocietalExpectations
