I thought you’d always be by my side Never thought I’d see the day I’d see my life was built on lies, See the foundations fall away And though you’ve left me so distraught In pieces on the floor I hope you’ve found what you had sought And you won’t run no more It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side I thought you’d always be by my side Will justice never prevail? Will I be forced to live out my life Forever with this betrayal? And though you’ve not exactly caught The best hand of the game I hope the joy it may have brought Is worth the price you’ve paid It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side Copyright © 2012-2017 KF

Grass Aint Greener
I thought you’d always be by my side Never thought I’d see the day I’d see my life was built on lies, See the foundations fall away And though you’ve left me so distraught In pieces on the floor I hope you’ve found what you had sought And you won’t run no more It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side I thought you’d always be by my side Will justice never prevail? Will I be forced to live out my life Forever with this betrayal? And though you’ve not exactly caught The best hand of the game I hope the joy it may have brought Is worth the price you’ve paid It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side Copyright © 2012-2017 KF
Written when a family member chosen something trivial over the family and about the way it made me feel.
