Lyrics

I wasn’t just broken, I was shatteredI trusted you so much, you’re all that matteredYou no longer love me and I sang like a sad birdI couldn’t move on and I think you were flattered
Oh! Life’s about joy, life’s about painIt’s all about forgiving and the will to walk awayI’m ready to be loved, and love the way I shouldLife’s about, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
The longer my tears fell, the wider the river (I love you baby)It killed me that you’d give your life to be with her (I love you baby)I had to believe that things would get betterIt was time to forget you, forever
Oh! Life’s about joy, life’s about painIt’s all about forgiving and the will to walk awayI’m ready to be loved, and love the way I shouldLife’s about, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
It took me so long to be strongBut I’m alive, and I hold onTo what I can feel, it hurts to healOh, when love lies(About to get good)(About to get good)(About to get aah)
Life’s about joy, life’s about painIt’s all about forgiving and the will to walk awayI’m ready to be loved, and love the way I shouldLife’s about, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about joy, life’s about painLife’s about, life’s about to get good
