Lyrics
some said she?d die from a broken heart
at times she felt she wept her tears in vain
she?d hang her head and shake her fist at the darkened moonlit sky
she couldn?t stand the thought of another year gone down the drain
she noticed him but he never noticed her
at times she wondered if something had gone wrong
all she wanted was to hold his hand, and kiss his sweet red lips
someone she could talk to, to make her feel belonged
she was too blue to listen to the blues
her eyes were too red to see any light that shined
she was too low to hold her head up high
the grass was too green on the other side
end (the grass was too green on the other side, it was too green on the other side)
guitar break
they said as soon as you stop looking
that is when you will start to find
the things you want, the stuff you?ll need, you?ll stop and wonder why
why didn?t I do this sooner -- I have wasted so much time
chorus
it never seemed to work the way they said it would
even though it had always worked for them
but I?ll give it just one more try, she cried over and over again
all she really wanted was a lover, all she ever got were friends
chorus
