You were built to last a lifetime
Just not the life that you live
You don't have to make it worse
'Cause the world isn't perfect
And you don't need to give a toss
But you'd make it better if you did
You did, you did, you did

You were made to be loving
Not a source of bitterness and hate
And when you turn them on yourself
You make one more useless martyr
Make the best of here and now
Heaven or hell can wait
They'll wait, they'll wait, let them wait

When you lose your appetite for self-destruction
You can stop viewing life as tragedy
Give it a few more years and look from this angle
Where it looks more and more and more like comedy
Where it looks more and more and more like comedy

Oh, you were made to be happy
Not mired in sorrow and regret
Misery comes around enough
You don't need to invite him
And when he leaves you should grab
All the joy you can get
You can get, you can get, you can get
When you lose your appetite for self-destruction
You can stop viewing life as tragedy
Give it a few more years and look from this angle
Where it looks more and more and more like comedy
Where it looks more and more and more like comedy
Like comedy
Like comedy
Like comedy
