It's the Only One You've Got

How do you know where you're going
When you don't know where you've been
You hide the shame that you're not showing
And you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walking alone
Now you think you're the only one
Who doesn't have to try
And you won't have to feel
If you're afraid to fight
Then I guess you never will

You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define
You now and tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got

Memories have left you broken
And the scars have never healed
The emptiness in you is growing
There's so little left to feel
You're scared to look back on the days before
To decide to move on
And now you think that you're the only
One that doesn't have to try
And you won't have to feel
If you're afraid to fight
Then I guess you never will

Hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define
You now and tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got

What's it gonna take
To get you to say that I'll try
And what would you say if this was the last day of your life

Hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define
You now and tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got

Hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define
You now and tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got
