It's the Only One You've Got Songtext
von 3 Doors Down

And how do you know where you′re goin'
When you don′t know where you've been?
You hide the shame that you're not showin′
And you won′t let anyone in

A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walkin′ alone
And now you think that you're the only
One who doesn′t have to try

And you won't have to fail
You′re so afraid to fly
Then I guess you never will

You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's somethin' 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 growin′
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
You′re so afraid to fly
And I guess you never will

You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's somethin′ 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

Ooh, but what would 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 somethin′ 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 somethin' 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
