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 have to try and you won't 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 it's the only 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 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 you've got      Oh, 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 it's the only 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 you've got
