Well 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 showin'
And you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walking alone
So 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
Cause maybe he never hurts
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

The 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
Cause maybe he never hurts
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
Cause maybe he never hurts
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
Cause maybe he never hurts
Forgetting that there's so much 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
