I'm lying in the dark listening to the rain
Reminds of you and makes me me sad all over again
Your measured swoons and sighs
Your hand me down whispered alibis
And it's easy to forgive but it's so hard, so hard to forget
And it's easy to see how deceit, deceit becomes regret
I can see now we're apart
How your mind played tricks on my heart
I never knew that you were untrue
There's so many shades of green
And I never believed that you would ever deceive
There's so many shades of green, so many shades of green
So sleep with your snakes and enjoy their viper's kiss
I want you know there's nothing about that I miss
I don't wish you any pain
But I don't ever want to see you again
So just shut your mouth
I've heard it all before
Shut it, just shut it
I don't wanna hear any more
I never knew that you were untrue
There's so many shades of green
And I never believed that you would ever deceive
There's so many shades of green
And you never knew that I was also untrue
There's so many shades of green
And you never believed that I could ever deceive
There's so many shades
So many shades of green
