0:07I've had to think up a way to survive
0:14Since you said it's over, told me goodbye
0:22I just can't make it one day without you
0:29Unless I pretend that the opposite's true
0:36♪
0:41Rivers flow backwards, valleys are high
0:48Mountains are level, truth is alive
0:57I'm perfectly fine and I don't miss you
1:04The sky is green and the grass is blue
1:11♪
1:42How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
1:50Where is that fine line before it all breaks?
1:58Can one end their sorrow, just cross over it
2:05And into that realm of insensitive bliss?
2:18There's snow in the tropics, there's ice on the sun
2:25It's hot in the Arctic and crying is fun
2:34And I'm happy now and I'm glad we're through
2:41And the sky is green and the grass is blue
2:50And the rivers flow backwards and my tears are dry
2:57Swans hate the water and eagles can't fly
3:06But I'm alright now, now that I'm over you
3:13And the sky is green and the grass is blue
3:22And I don't love you
3:25And the grass is blue
3:37♪
