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
