Green with Envy

I waited on him for so long
Not just a second or two
He was thought to be a loving man
But that was pretty far from the truth

Hiding from the things that he cared for
Living a life full of flaws
Blaming the past on his father
Troubled by his family abroad

In a world Green with Envy
Never thought there was something wrong
In a world Green with Envy
Couldn’t hold on his promises

He wasn’t known to be faithful
Never showed if it hurt
Always reaching for the pinnacle
The salt of the earth

He looked tired and so lonely
Father was a sad old man
He was all about money
In the palm of his hand

In a world Green with Envy
Never thought there was something wrong
In a world Green with Envy
Couldn’t hold on his promises
