It's the crying out your eyes around a casket when you can't get someone back But it's the thought of how good it was when they were here that makes it hurt so bad It's the baby that won't sleep That's driving you insane But them smiling chubby cheeks That makes it all ok No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta know the halfway empty To know the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful Yea the lucky ones get to love even if they love and lose Cuz anything worth anything is always gone too soon We only hold so tight to things cuz we'll have to let 'em go No nothing lasts forever but maybe it's better cuz it don't No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta know the halfway empty To know the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta feel the halfway empty To feel the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful Ain't it beautiful
