I had the world when you were mine

But I threw it away

I thought the grass was greener there

Where I wandered one day

I left your arms for someone else

But he was never true

I thought the grass was greener there

Now here am I so blue

Now another, now another, holds your hand

And there's nothing, there's nothing left for me

And it hurts so much to see her stand

Where I once used to be

It breaks my heart when you walk by

So near and yet so far

And the grass is really greener there

For that's just where you are

I know the grass is greener there

For that's just where you are
