[Verse 1]
I walked through hell in worn-out shoes
Burned every map I used to use
Thought the other side had cleaner air
But pain was waiting everywhere
I saw the grin behind the mask
Everybody carries cracked-up glass
So I stopped asking for a perfect life
Started learning how to live mine right
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I felt the heat
Yeah, I took the cut
Now I know the truth
It never ends up
[Chorus]
The grass ain’t greener
(It ain’t greener)
I learned my lesson
(I learned my lesson)
Everybody’s hurtin’
Everybody’s workin’
I enjoy mine
I enjoy mine
[Verse 2]
I made my peace with the storm
Found my fire in the broken form
Every scar became a little more
Than a reason to keep score
Now I laugh when the dark gets loud
I don’t need to be safe and proud
I need the miles, I need the dirt
Need the sting that taught me what I’m worth
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I felt the heat
Yeah, I took the cut
Now I know the truth
It never ends up
[Chorus]
The grass ain’t greener
(It ain’t greener)
I learned my lesson
(I learned my lesson)
Everybody’s hurtin’
Everybody’s workin’
I enjoy mine
I enjoy mine
[Bridge]
And if I break
I break awake
No perfect day
Just one more take
I’ll taste the smoke
I’ll wear the rain
'Cause even pain
Can build my name
[Final Chorus]
The grass ain’t greener
(It ain’t greener)
I learned my lesson
(I learned my lesson)
Everybody’s hurtin’
Everybody’s workin’
I enjoy mine
I enjoy mine
The grass ain’t greener
(I know it now)
I learned my lesson
(I know it now)
Everybody’s hurtin’
Everybody’s workin’
I enjoy mine
I enjoy mine
