You Only Live Once

You're starting to think that the American Dream is a myth

You get what you get it don't matter what you wish

You're looking for roses you end up with dirt

You're honestly thinking that that's all that you're worth

You pay your dues for pride

You only live once but you die a thousand times

You're starting to see everybody else's point of view

but that's not what you intended to do

You used to have vision now you just stare

You're starting to wonder if there's anything there

You don't know what you'll find

You only live once but you die a thousand times

And all the money that you thought you made

Well it went quicker than it came

You pay a bill and another comes

All that's left are nickels and dimes

You die a thousand times

You're starting to feel so content with what you see

but this isn't what you wanted to be

You won every battle you lost every war

You were a contender but you're not anymore

You fell right back in line

You only live once but you die a thousand times
