I woke up scrolling through my phone
Comparison's a thief I've come to know
He whispers,
You're not good enough
And I believe him
Can't help it when I'm seein'
What I'm seein'
She's got it all
She's so in love
She's got the look
She's got the job
She's got it good
Ain't insecure
Must be easier
But on the other side of the world
There's another lonely girl
Probably wishin'
She could stand here in my shoes
I've been the one searchin' for more,
Jealous of the girl next door
I betcha some days you feel that way too
Why do we want what we can't have
'Cause we have everything
And that should be enough
So when it's tough
Enjoy the ride
'Cause the grass ain't always greener
On the other side
Hmmm, oooh
We paint our own white picket fences
To cover up our mistakes and our messes
Lord knows I've done it too
Maybe she's like more like me and you
Singin' back this same song
From a different view
On the other side of the world
There's another lonely girl
Probably wishin'
She could stand here in my shoes
I've been the one searchin' for more
Jealous of the girl next door
I betcha some days you feel that way too
Why do we want what we can't have
'Cause we have everything
And that should be enough
So when it's tough
Enjoy the ride
'Cause the grass ain't always greener
On the other side
Oooh...
I've got this song
I've got a friend
I've got a roof
Over my head
I've got a prayer
A hand to hold
So much more to grow
On the other side of the world
There's another lonely girl
Probably wishin'
She could stand here in my shoes
I've been the one searchin' for more
Jealous of the girl next door
I betcha some days you feel that way too
Why do we want what we can't have
'Cause we have everything
And that should be enough
So when it's tough
Enjoy the ride
Cuz the grass ain't always greener
On the other side
Oooh, hmm...
