[Verse 1]
You were my best friend
My world, my one safe place
Coffee cups on the counter
Your sweatshirt on my frame
I did your laundry
You laughed and kissed my nose
I thought I had our forever
You thought I’d never go
[Chorus]
You took me for granted
Like I’d always be around
Like love was just a habit
You could wear down, wear out
Now you’re staring at the doorway
Where I used to wait on you
Guess the grass ain’t always greener
When it’s dying under you
[Verse 2]
You chased that bright life
Thought my love held you back
Said you needed “something bigger”
Threw our memories in a pack
But at some red light
Do you see what we had?
My best friend, my whole world
Was the only thing you had
[Chorus]
You took me for granted
Like I’d always be around
Like love was just a habit
You could wear down, wear out
Now you’re staring at the doorway
Where I used to wait on you
Guess the grass ain’t always greener
When it’s dying under you
[Bridge]
I still smell your shirt in the closet
Still see that crooked smile
Some days I miss you so much
It knocks me back a mile
But I’m learning I’m worth choosing
I’m a once-in-a-lifetime truth
And if you can’t see that clearly
Someone else will, more than you
[Chorus]
You took me for granted
Thought I’d always be your home
Now the girl who loved you most
Is walking this road alone
You went searching for your better
But you lost your truest view
Guess the grass ain’t always greener
When the green was me with you
