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 wont 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 have to try,
Then you wont have to fail.
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
They tell you who you're not.
You've got to live this life you're given
like its the only one you've got.
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,
Then you wont 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 its the only you've got.
Ooo, what will it take
Oh, 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 its the only you've got.
