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
Who doesn't have to try and you won't have to fail
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better

You're scared to look back on the days before
The emptiness in you is growing with so little left to feel
If you're afraid to fight then I guess you never will
You're too tired to move on

You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not

You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Oh, what will it take, oh to get you to say that I'll try?
A crowded street can be a quiet place when you're walking alone
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
And now you think that you're the only one
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
And what would you say if this was the last day of your life?
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
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 the shame that you're not showing and you won't let anyone in
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only you've got
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
And now you think that you're the only one
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only you've got
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
