The Grass Is Greener Through the Noose
Deep in the cave inside my heart
Is the place you'll never be
It's sealed and locked forever now
Because you threw away the key
You've stolen all my faith in life
And my ability to love
I have no big accomplishments
Or accolades to be proud of
Remember when we got shit-faced
and went to New York City?
You left your sweater in the cab
and it got really chilly
We barely caught the train back home
You fell asleep in my arms
You cuddled close and held my hand
And drew me in with your charms
But in your sleep, you called his name
I should have figured by then
But I was naive and stupid
Because I trusted you again
As much as I want to tell you
What you really did to me,
I can't because what comes to mind
Are those sights I can't unsee
And all the while you were seeing him
As our "love" continued to grow
I thought that this was all my fault
But it was YOU I didn't know
You left me for another man
Wait, that's not exactly right
It's more like I walked in on you
Betraying my trust that night.
So I'll be forced to live with this
Well, not for very long
I hope you get what you deserve
Because you were in the wrong
Nothing will matter anymore
Not once I've tightened this noose
Everything will fade into black
And I'll be free from life's abuse
