While I was listening to this song, I came across the following sentence:

Nothing ever good really is.

What does this sentence mean? Is this construction common?

"Lyrics warning" Song lyrics are not meant to be examples of normal spoken English or written prose.

The full expression is

I know it ain't been easy; nothing ever good really is [easy]

It means good things are never really easy to get or achieve. However the word order is strange, the word "ever" seems to be in the wrong place.
