It's the only one you've got....

GOT TO LIVE THIS LIFE YOU'RE
GIVEN LIKE IT'S THE ONLY ONE
YOU'VE GOT!




Love love love this song and the lyrics speak to me.
3 Doors Down is one of my very favorite bands ever
and this song is just one of the many reasons why.

Me and shorty mcshort shorts and jogging and tank
tops with my flying squirel arms and backfat and
all those "not so" beautiful things... the image
in my head is not so grande - so I can only imagine
the image in 'real life' to those who have to suffer
with watching me trot my trot down the road...

HOWEVER this song just re-affirms my wants and needs
and abilities to do what I can with what the Good Lord
has given me ( allllll of it! )

IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT - 3 DOORS DOWN

How do you know where your going
if you don't know where you've been?
You hide the shame that your not showing
and you won't let anybody in.
A crowded street can be a quiet place
when your walkin' it alone...

And now you think that your the only one -
who doesn't have to try - then you won't have to fail.
if your 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 your not.
You've got to live this life your livin',
like it's the only one you've got!

Memories have left you broken
and the scars have never healed.
The emptiness is growing with so little left to feel.
You're scared to look back on the days before
but too tired to move on.
And now you think that your the only one -
who doesn't have to try - then you won't have to fail.
if your 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 your not.
You've got to live this life your livin',
like it's the only one you've got!

What will 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 your not.You've got to live this life your livin',
like it's the only one you've got!
