Lyrics for It's The Only One You've Got as interpreted by dkyle_06

It's The Only One You've Got Lyrics
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 feel
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 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

Have to try
And you won't have to feel
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 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

My two favorite lines of this song,
"Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not."

Those two lines alone have so much emotion and thought into them. This whole song is one of the best on the album, although the whole album is just amazing. I think the lyrics speak for themself as to what the meaning is. Live your life like it's the only one you got.

I agree. the meaning is pretty straight forward. I really like this song. The whole cd is worth buying though.

"You hide behind your walls

Like it's the only one you've got " Wow this is just so true. I lived with parents constantly afraid of mistakes I may make or the mistakes they have made. But this song to me means yeah we all make mistakes but that's not who u are. And ppl may call you names like "b****" Or "S***" and you may not be really. That's not who u are. GREAT song! LOVE THE ALBUM GO BUY IT!!!!

This song is amazing, I'm really happy of having this album, even if I had to wait for 5 weeks to hear it here in Chile.

Great song, best on the album IMO, but there's a mistake - the 2nd chorous should say "If you're afraid to fly" not fight.
