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
