It's the Only One You've Got (acoustic) Songtext / Lyric

Well 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 that you're the only one who doesn't
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 The memories have left you broken and the scars have never healed
The emptiness in you is growing with so little left to feel
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
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

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
