Green is a color I've seen my mama wear among other things And lately I've felt the world so bleak There's not a lot here for me There's not a lot here for me It's a funny place, I've been thinking Maybe someday soon I'll start falling Today I woke, but tomorrow I'll sleep Only to find someplace that I've not been For in my dreams the road's less broken Well I can't believe what's become of me Was it just yesterday that I felt so free Now all I feel is a pain so deep But it's for another, and it's not for me It's for another, and it's not for me Now it's all just one big tricky thing And I'm not sure where it starts or ends There's a thousand ways that it could have gone So, what's the use of right or wrong Sometimes I think that I should have known How'd I end up in this selfish town Bet you didn't think I'd stick around Here the people smoke and the talk's so cheap Mmmmm And over there no one's listening Over there no one's listening
