C'est la Vie

Life is full of ups and downs.
You’ll never know what comes ‘round.
It may be good, it may be bad.
It may be happy, it may be sad.

Life was never all glee,
C’est la Vie.

Life is full of ups and downs,
Just like how you make it sound.
But sometimes what seems at bay
May depart us the next day.

From our grasp, treasures flee.
C’est la Vie.

Life is full of ups and downs.
When you lose faith and hit ground,
That’s the worst feeling you’d ever found.
And that’s when even the strongest fall down.

Life stabs you when you’re at the peak.
C’est la Vie.

I always thought I was the best.
Different and unique from the rest.
But when I was put to a test,
I was exterminated by others like a pest.

I had been in the limelight
And always thought it was right.
But now I’m not even in sight
On these dark and silent nights.

Life was never all about me.
C’est la Vie.

One moment I thought I had everything
When I was king.
The next moment I was nothing
When I lost my wings.

I once thought you were mine
But it was all just a lie.
Everything that made me happy was just an illusion.
In reality, it was just my hallucination.

Life is not what it seems to be.
C’est la Vie.

You may not be the protagonist.
In other’s world, you may not even exist.
You gain some and lose some.
This is life, so get real.
You can’t have everything in the world.

Life was never fantasy
C’est la Vie.

Life is only one percent happiness,
So treasure it to the fullest.
The remaining of life is suffering.
So brace yourself and accept your destiny.

There’s always an aftermath for your smile.
Life takes it away before you can walk a mile.
You lose more than you gain.
You lose more important stuff than what you gain.

This is when you suffer.
And this is when life invokes pain.
Nothing ever comes free.
C’est la Vie.

And always remember
Suffering is life’s decree.
C’est la Vie.
