Grass Ain’t So Green

[Verse 1]
Thought you had a better view
Scrollin’ through your highlight reel
All that glitter on your page
Can’t cover up what’s real
You said “I’m done with all this”
Packed bags, packed up your pride
Chased some picture-perfect place
Now you call me late at night (yeah)
[Chorus]
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
Thought you’d find peace, now it don’t make sense
You traded roots for a rumor, glow for a filter
Found out that fantasy fades quicker
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
You miss this mess, you miss that text
You wanted out, now you want back in
Guess you learned it all depends
[Verse 2]
You were talkin’ ’bout the cars
Talkin’ ’bout the clothes they wear
But the silence in that room
Hit harder than the bass in there (woo)
All that “living like a star”
Just you and your doubts at night
You said “I’d rather fight with you
Than fake another perfect life” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
Thought you’d find peace, now it don’t make sense
You traded roots for a rumor, glow for a filter
Found out that fantasy fades quicker
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
You miss this mess, you miss that text
You wanted out, now you want back in
Guess you learned it all depends
[Bridge]
You can run from here to there
Still carry you everywhere (everywhere)
If you water what you got
You might grow what you compare
You said “maybe we were fine
Maybe storm clouds just felt dense”
Now you’re standin’ at my door
Staring through that same old fence (yeah)
[Chorus]
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
Thought you’d find peace, now it don’t make sense
You traded roots for a rumor, glow for a filter
Found out that fantasy fades quicker
Grass ain’t so green on the other side of the fence
If you stay real, if I stay honest
Maybe this time we make it make sense
Right here on our side of the fence
