The Grass Was Never Greener

from Never Say No by Jake Dollery

/

lyrics

Sitting here thinking about the two years past
About the way you broke me and how our feelings contrast
The grass was never greener but it was from where you stood
You left me so you could do the things you felt you should

You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard
You talked for hours but hardly said a word

Sitting here drinking falling into a trance
And as the light fades I dream of one more chance
Alone here drinking alone with my broken dreams
I’m just a drowning man but no one hears my screams

You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard
You talked for hours but hardly said a word

The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener

Sitting here thinking I guess I’ve only myself to blame
And what could have been and how to live with my pain
Alone here blinking at the light of a brand new day
An empty glass at my side and a hurt that won’t go away

You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard
You talked for hours but hardly said a word

The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener
The grass was never greener
