This song says: I had it all but it doesn't mean anything since you're gone.  I should have been there. 


She wanted to be a rich person rich and she forgot the priorities of life.

Transcript

This beautiful city seems empty. All the people in the world and you can still feel lonely, what's the point of having it all without the person you love. Sometimes you just need to start again in order to fly.

Used to dream of being a millionaire
Without a care
But if I'm seeing my dreams
And you aren't there cause it's over
That just won't be fair, darling

I'd rather be a poor woman living on the street
No food to eat
Cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
Cause it's over when you said goodbye

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes
It's no surprise
but being alone would make you realize
When it's over all in love is fair
I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there
I shoulda shoulda

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone

I know I pushed you away
What can I do that would save our love
Take these material things
They don't mean nothing
It's you that I want

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above, seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone
