lyrics

The Good Life (If You Only Knew) - written & produced by Kabir Sen ©2020 www.kabirsen.com

If you only knew the pain that I feel,
I love life but bleed pain and the struggle is real
And no, I won't keep it concealed
Twist the cap, pour it out, it'll all be revealed
(If you only knew) all the love that I have
Whether happy or sad, through the good and the bad
And no, I can't keep it contained
From the sun or the rain, the joy or the pain
(If you only knew) my commitment to you
Is tried and true, look at all we've been through
And no, to be real, this really ain't nothin new
My life is the scenery, I'm loving the view
(If you only knew) the song is a canvas
Making sense of the world as I understand it
Put my love into my music, while keeping it candid,
Being true to myself is what I'm demanding....

Livin' the good life here and now
Straight to the top, we'll show you how
Livin' the good life here and now (hey hey)
Makin' it through all the highs and lows
Where does it lead? No one knows
Livin' the good life here and now (hey hey)

If you only knew the things that I see
The music I make are different pieces of me
Whether written or free,
Spittin’ bars, singing songs or playing the keys
(If you only knew) the chances I take, the risk involved, the choices I make
And I can't take a break because I'm headed to the party and I'm coming for cake
(If you only knew) how I pulled light from the darkness, blood from the stone, love from the heartless,
I try to stay true to myself as an artist,
And I give and get love regardless
(If you only knew) how I made it through
with the loss of a parent it's apparent and true
And I try to keep it positive with all that I do
Because the strength in me sees the power in you
