Green

'Cause my arms would die without your hands to live
And your arms will lie parallel to his
And I won't be fooled as long as I don't hear
That you have been whispering
Sweet nothings in his ear

And one of these days he'll screw up
And oh, you'll question the love
And I will be waiting there for you
To wander back
'Cause you deserve more than that
'Cause you deserve more than that

You'll pardon his thinking
All the fights he dragged you through
And I learned of his shortcomings
When I got to lie with you

The ways that we differ
And ways you can begin
To bring back the green in your eyes
The sadness from your skin

And one of these days you'll grow up
And oh, you'll question a love
That never fulfilled you from the start
It won't take long to mend a broken heart
Deserves more than that
'Cause it deserves more than that

You'll wait for a break
Then the morning comes
And it feels like a burning
Burning touch of the sun
It feels like broken glass
The shot of a gun

And one of these days he'll screw up
And oh, you'll question the love
And I will be waiting there for you
To wander back

And one of these days you'll grow up
And oh, you'll question a love
It never fulfilled you from the start
It won't take long to mend a broken heart

'Cause you deserve more than that
You deserve more than that
You deserve more than that
