Lyrics
I wasn’t just broken, I was shattered
I trusted you so much, you’re all that mattered You no longer love me and I sang like a sad bird I couldn’t move on and I think you were flatteredOh! Life’s about joy, life’s about pain
It’s all about forgiving and the will to walk away I’m ready to be loved, and love the way I should Life’s about, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get goodThe 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 better It was time to forget you, foreverOh! Life’s about joy, life’s about pain
It’s all about forgiving and the will to walk away I’m ready to be loved, and love the way I should Life’s about, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get goodIt took me so long to be strong
But I’m alive, and I hold on To what I can feel, it hurts to heal Oh, when love lies (About to get good) (About to get good) (About to get aah)Life’s about joy, life’s about pain
It’s all about forgiving and the will to walk away I’m ready to be loved, and love the way I should Life’s about, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about to get good
Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get good Oh, life’s about to get goodOh, life’s about joy, life’s about pain
Life’s about, life’s about to get good
