Life is her abuser But life is beautiful to her Says she'll raise a family one day Don't need a man to pave the way in the future She runs on silver linings Proud to say she's surviving A childhood misunderstood Is knotted wood that burns forever brighter We're all just caught in a riddle Says "make a lot out of a little" The prophecy is plain to see So, c'est la vie And forget about it She don't care that life's a bitch It's as good as it gets He can't escape his old man A mean streak and a quick hand In a broken bathroom mirror Couldn't be any clearer, he sees his dad So he tries his hand at kindness To fix what broke inside him A lesson learned from a parent's curse Kills his self worth and memories fill the silence We're all just caught in a riddle Says "make a lot out of a little" The prophecy is plain to see So, c'est la vie And forget about it Well, he don't care that life's a bitch It's as good as it gets It's as good as it gets We're all just caught in a riddle Says "make a lot out of a little" The prophecy is plain to see So, c'est la vie And forget about it 'Cause it don't add up to shit It's as good as it gets It's as good as it gets It's as good as it gets
