3 Doors Down - 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.
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

[2x:]
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.
