evergreen Lyrics

Six am her alarm goes off five past she's out of bed

Sits down with her parents, breakfast on the table is made

Talks about her future every morning is the same

She doesn't mind it, no, she loves it

She knows she's got a place to stay

While I'm like a flower blooming only in the spring

While she shines through the dark

Even in the cold you'll still hear her sing

She is always around to learn and grow

She is evergreen

I want to be evergreen

I want to be evergreen

Like her

I bet her summer's golden

Picknicks by the lake

Laughing with her pretty friends

Taking pretty pictures

Talking 'bout their pretty pretty dates

Who am I to judge when I don't know what it's like

What it's like to be her

Sitting in my room writing songs about life

Well I haven't lived at all

I'm like a flower blooming only in the spring

While she shines through the dark

Even in the cold you'll still hear her sing

She is always around to learn and grow

She is evergreen

I want to be evergreen

I want to be evergreen

Like her

Because wilted and weary is all I've ever been

I should believe in myself

Not want to be someone else

But lately it's been hard to

Be who I want to

I should trust myself

Before I trust somebody else

But lately it's been hard to

Trust someone who's not you

I should love myself

And not be jealous of everyone else

But that's so hard like

Being who I want to be

I'm sure she doesn't do fake niceties

Because she's naturally nice

And she's not bored of her closet

Like that pale daisy dress that she got for half the price

I'll always be the girl who wonders what it's like

What it's like to be her

Hiding in my room writing songs about life

Well I haven't lived at all

I'm like a flower blooming only in the spring

While she shines through the dark

Even in the cold you'll still hear her sing

She is always around to learn and grow

She is evergreen

I want to be evergreen

I want to be evergreen

Like her

Because wilted and weary is all I've ever been

Yeah wilted and weary is all I'll ever be
