Grass Is Greener Lyrics

Looking out my window seeing friends so bright

Thought their lives were golden shining in the night

Comparing every struggle to the lives they lead

Believed their paths were perfect with no pain to impede

But behind closed doors shadows fall

Heartache and troubles they're feeling it all

Cardiac battles cancer's cruel sting

Alcohol and addiction the pain that it brings

Oh the grass is greener on the other side

Or so it seems from where I hide

But their battles are deeper their wounds run wide

In the mirror of their lives where sorrows reside

Seeing their smiles I thought they had it made

But the demons they face the toll it's paid

Mothers fighting cancer fathers lost in drink

Friends trapped in addiction on the brink

Behind the facades their hearts are torn

Silent battles they've fought since they were born

Comparing my pain to theirs I start to see

The struggles we all face in this reality

Oh the grass is greener on the other side

Or so it seems from where I hide

But their battles are deeper their wounds run wide

In the mirror of their lives where sorrows reside

We all wear masks we all play the part

Trying to shield the cracks in our hearts

No one's pain is lighter no burden's small

In this game of life we rise and fall

Oh the grass is greener on the other side

Or so it seems from where I hide

But their battles are deeper their wounds run wide

In the mirror of their lives where sorrows reside

So I'll face my struggles with open eyes

Understanding the pain in every guise

The grass may seem greener but we all have our fights

In the journey of life we find our own lights
