Lyrics
Left my home for a better life......but I'm lonely
I thought the grass was greener here......but I'm blue
When I talk to you
I cannot disclose the truth
About how I feel
There's so much more to say
Pretending I'm OK
I miss you
I thought there was a better life but I'm finding it hard to belong
Every night it's the same old fight, it's hard to admit I was wrong
I need you near......'cause I'm lonely
I'm not happy here......I'm blue
When I talk to you
I cannot disclose the truth
About how I feel
There's so much more to say
Pretending I'm OK
I miss you
I thought there was a better life but I'm finding it hard to belong
Every night it's the same old fight, it's hard to admit I was wrong
Take me back to the place I know, back where I come from
Thought the grass was greener here
Take me back the places I......back to the faces I......back to the people I know
'Cause......I......Am......Blue
