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]
