I've watched my dreams all fade away

And blister in the sun

Everything i've ever had is unraveled and undone

I've set upon a worthless stack

Of my ambitious plans

And the people that i've loved the most

Have turned their backs and ran





Chorus:

This is the good life

I've lost everything

I could ever want

And ever dream of

This is the good life

I found everything

I could ever need

Here in your arms





Loneliness has left me searching

For someone to love

Poverty has changed my view

Of what true riches are

Sorrow's opened up my eyes

To see what real joy is

Pain has been the catalyst

To my heart's happiness





Chorus

What good would it be

If you had everything

But you wouldn't have

The only thing you need





Chorus
