It's The Only One You've Got lyrics

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

And now you think that you're the only

One who doesn't

[Chorus:]

Have to try

And you won't have to fail

If you're afraid to fly

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

They 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

But so little left to fill

You're scared to look back on the days before

You're too tired to move on

And now you think that you're the only one who doesn't

[Chorus]

What would it take

To get you to say that I'll try

And what would you say if

This was the last day of your life

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

They 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

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

They 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
