Irreverence

Well the grass always looked green,
On the other side to him
And his conscience wasn’t clean
When he thought of where he’d been
He’s betrayed his only friend
And it ate him up inside
Was it really worth the pain
For the pleasure of that night?
He’s thrown it all away
Well he didn’t have to think too much,
He took the invitiation
And he promised he’d stay in touch
But he had no intention
And he never considered the guilt he’d feel
When the sun entered the sky
But as hindsight came around
It detached him from his pride
And he thought that he could cope alone without her
But there’s just something about her
Oh you’ve thrown it all away
And you won’t get no pity from her
And there’s no one else to blame
Oh you’ve poured it down the drain
And it’s not getting much easier
You’re the only one to blame
And all the time he’d spent with her
Has faded in the distance
Inebriation took its toll
And it had blurred his vision
If he could turn back time he gladly would
But he had no magic watch
And as hindsight came around
It had tied him up in knots
Well the grass wasn’t so green
On the other side for him…
He’s thrown it all away
