On the Other Side lyrics

Baby, I know you're the one that slipped away I chased a shadow dressed in black that day He wore a smile, but something felt untrue Still, I let go of you Should've known better, but my heart won't play it safe It runs to fire even when it breaks If what they say is true in love and art I followed my foolish heart Now I'm calling your name in vain But I know I can't undo the pain The grass ain't greener on the other side Now I see it through these tired eyes You warned me once, I let it slide The grass ain't greener on the other side I should've known better, I can say it now But wisdom never shows you how To hold on tight when something's real Before you lose what you can't heal It was so easy, we were light and free Now every memory's haunting me I tried to blame it on someone else But I'm the one I couldn't help I wanna hate him, say it's all his fault But truth cuts deeper than I thought The grass ain't greener on the other side Now I see it through these tired eyes You warned me once, I let it slide The grass ain't greener on the other side Should've known better, played it smart Listened closer to my heart Every warning, every sign I ignored them every time Should've known better, now I see What you meant so clearly The grass ain't greener on the other side Just a different shade of lonely nights Now I'm left with what I chose And a love I let go
