Mother's Warning

I spent my life looking 

at an empty mirror

I didn't know what 

I was supposed to be looking for 

I started looking for answers 

in all the wrong places

Spent many a night, drunk and wasted 

Chorus

I was told that the grass 

was greener on the other side 

but it was all lies, it was all lies

I thought I knew it all

I thought my hallucinations, were holy visions

It was only after another night, spent in the gutter 

that my tide began to turn

Chorus

I was told that the grass 

was greener on the other side 

but it was all lies, it was all lies

It was my tears, that helped me see clearly 

and my mother's words of warning 

that came back, to haunt me

shamefully for me, it was too late 

I love you, but I don't like you

I love you, but I don't like you

Chorus

I was told that the grass 

was greener on the other side 

but it was all lies, it was all lies

I'd laughed in her face 

as she'd tried to warn me 

told me I was on the road to ruin 

but I'd just carried on 

now her words pronged me, like the devil's fork

Chorus

I was told that the grass 

was greener on the other side 

but it was all lies, it was all lies

Chorus

I was told that the grass 

was greener on the other side 

but it was all lies, it was all lies
