I used to dream, used to wish, used to wonder I hoped for things that were not meant to be for me The poetry lived in me but no longer The painter died, the brush has broken and decayed All colors faded away The stories I wrote turned all into tragedies No happy endings here Tell me - is this What you want from me Tell me - is this What I'm meant to be Life is not beautiful It is cold and lonely Life is not beautiful We all live and die alone Hopeless, loveless we all fall down I had a heart like a shrine, like a temple But then they came, turned it into a house of trade Stripped of my pride, here I lie, I surrender Come gather 'round, see the flame burn out in my eyes My failure is life-sized For thirty pieces of silver is all we're worth We live but never learn Life is not beautiful It is cold and lonely Life is not beautiful We all live and die alone Hopeless, loveless we all fall down So here I am standing now My candle is burning out The cracks on the ground, the sky is falling down There is no way out You already let me down Betrayed ma and took my crown When everything ends, the pain will fade out Life is not beautiful It is cold and lonely Life is not beautiful We all live and die alone Hopeless, loveless we all fall down
