You had it made, then I came along
And put your defenses to the test
When you started to cave, you started to feel lost, Cause you knew that she still had your best
Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes
But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in
Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love
You could have had the best love
Always chasing a dream, that you wanted so bad to forget, but you kept on hanging on
And no matter how I tried, it seemed that I could never compare, and I was obsessed with what went wrong
Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes
But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in
Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love
You could have had the best love
Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes
But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in
Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love
You could have had the best love
