If you put one foot in front of the other
The chances rise that you're gonna stumble
But if you just stand there
You ain't going anywhere
Just wasting a heartbeat

Go and string one scar into another
Trade a life that hums for a life that rumbles
Maybe we're supposed to die more than 1,000 times
Maybe we were meant to hurt so we'd know what love feels like

Your memory is not the enemy
Sometimes meant to be
Looks like an effigy
All that hurt you felt
It might be there to help
I've been my strongest when I fell
