you could've had everything lyrics

Ignorance and arrogance mean quite the same to me
Take a look around you and I'm sure you will agree
The world is full of people filled with hatred filled with greed
It's such a rare example when you've found a human being

You could've had everything but you
You would've been scared of what to do
You should've been so much more to us than just exonerated
Why shouldn't it break your heart in two?

I find little entertains me anymore
The problems of the world are often tedious and worn
I'm reading all about it with a chuckle and a sneer
They say a new beginning and they say the end is near

Get in your self-assuredness and take it for a spin
You'll be standing by yourself when they've all given in
It's "take before it's taken from you" every single day
I wish it wasn't like this
I don't know another way
