I have tried and I've tried But I ain't ever satisfied This hunger burning in my soul Like an old dog scratching at the door, wanting more Gonna eat me out of house and home I tried to fill it with a kiss From a stranger on the lips Eased my mind for a second or two Then it put me on the ground I am lost but I have found That the only one can save me is you The gra** is never greener The dog is always meaner And a white picket fence Makes a solid defense When your trying to find your way back home Now you're all out of grace I can see it on your face And there won't be one more last chance You're moving on and above And I'll never find love In a second hand me down romance I can touch her at night When we turn out the light But it's your skin that I feel I can't look her in the eye Afraid she'll see you in mine And the longing I don't wanna conceal The gra** is never greener The dog is always meaner And a white picket fence Makes a solid defense When your trying to find your way back home When I see you around I won't ever make a sound But I'm screaming that I need you inside I have been defeated by my demons Who have cheated me Right out of what I used to call mine So farewell my love You're the one I'm thinking of While I'm lying in this bed I made As I'm sleeping here beside her A continual reminder Of the final warning that you gave The gra** is never greener The dog is always meaner And a white picket fence Makes a solid defense When your trying to find your way back home
