"Green Book" lyrics

Once, you said "I'll never make you cry"
"Angel eyes are only meant to smile"
Once, you said, "all will be alright"
"Even when there's nothing left to try"

Then, I used to sleep under my bed
I would play dead
And couldn't see the tears you shed
Now, every time I close my eyes
I still try to read your mind

Once, you said "we are meant to die"
"Let me go alone this one last time"
Once, you said "we are meant to fly"
Can you show me how to reach the sky?

Then, I used to sleep under my bed
I would play dead
And couldn't see the tears you shed
Now, every time I close my eyes
I still try to read your mind

I wanted to be there
I wanted to be there
I wanted to be there for you
I wanted to be there for you
I wanted to be there for you
I wanted to be there
