Here's a story that I wanna tell
|
Bout a guy I used to know so well
|
Who lived his life so carelessly
|
The most popular boy in school
|
Who would've thought he'd fall the victim too
|
When his future seemed so promising
|
|
Some say he came from the perfect home
|
A family with money
|
There was love like I have never known
|
He let the shadows pour through his heart
|
Poisoned his veins he got lost
|
Now he's runnin
|
You know u've only got
|
|
[Chorus]
|
1 life, 1 life 2 live
|
U've got 2 wake up
|
B4 u miss out on it
|
U've only got 1 chance
|
1 chance to be
|
And that's all u've got 2
|
Fulfill ur destiny
|
U've got 2 love urself
|
Love urself
|
Love urself
|
|
There was this friend of mine
|
She lived a really lonely life
|
She never thought she was good enough
|
Such a beautiful silhouette
|
But I'm ugly is what she said
|
She didn't know the value of her worth
|
|
Some say her father's the one to blame
|
He loved her in ways she never told
|
Little girls should never know
|
She ran away just to save her soul
|
Escape from the painful memories
|
She's still runnin
|
U know u've only got 1
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
No one can have a perfect life
|
2 live u have 2 survive
|
U gotta take the good with the bad
|
And the bitter with the sweet
|
Life can be so sweet
|
But first u gotta find the peace
|
Ur inner joy is yours alone
|
But first u've got 2 love urself
|
|
[Chorus]
|

U've Only Got 1
