Tamyra Gray - U've Only Got 1 lyrics

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]
