I don't know what to do at all
Seems when I try, I always fall
If just this once, I could know
Where I should turn, which way to go
I cannot hide it anymore
Why am I still who I was before?
Maybe someday, when I am I grown
I'll know the things I wish I'd known.
I'll know the things I wish I'd known.

You only get one life to live
But what if you don't know what to give?
If you're confused, with no way out
Is that what life is all about?
You think you've tried, you think you're done
You've loved and lost, you've failed and won
But in the end, it all amounts
Are the mistakes what really count?
Are the mistakes what really count?

Why do I keep making the same mistakes?
Why don't I have what it takes
To just keep on, to remain strong?
To change whom I have been for so long?
It makes no sense, it doesn't fit
I can't seem to escape this pit
If nothing lost is something gained
Why are these ideals not yet obtained?
Why are these ideals not yet obtained?

One step forward, three steps back.
Something's missing that I still lack
One step forward, three steps back.
Need to get myself on the right track.

A tear rolls down my upturned face
I look for help to find my place
But help is none, and answer naught
And I'm left broken in this sacred spot
For though I know that life's a gift
It seems the opposite, there's a rift
I pray that I may clean this mess
And someday I'll find happiness.
Someday I'll find happiness.
