[Intro]
Baby, I don't know what to do without you
How will I make it through without you
Nobody ever knew about you
Green lady, I'm so blue without you

[Verse 1]
I confess I've been a mess since you left
And you slept in a sec, up later than the rent, getting bent
Sitting here in this empty tent
Reminiscing how we crept
The secrets that we kept on the low
Never talked on the phone just in code
Underneath the table, didn't want no one to know
We helped each other grow, but now I gotta let you go
You go back to him, I'll go back to being broke
Don't want to make it hard, I don't got all the answers
Hate to break your heart, it hurts to break your branches
I shed a single tear every time I gotta harvest
I love ya, all sixteen of ya, my darlings
'Member when I used to take you out? You shot the bill
I mean the water, the gas, and the power bill
If I can't deal, shit, I don't know how to feel
But I think this time I'm really out for real

[Chorus]
I thought we'd always be together
But I guess we can't dream forever
You know we can't be seen together
I just hope he treats you better than me
Now we've come to the end of the dream
And we fled down a dead-end street
But you know we both knew all along
This had to end inevitably
So now what do I do without you? (What I'm gon' do without you?)
How will I make it through without you? (I won't, that's how)
Nobody ever knew about you (Nobody ever knew about you )
Green lady, I'm so blue without you (So blue)
[Verse 2]
I reminisce on days I will forever miss
Nothing quite like the view from the edge of the cliff
Knowing that if you slip, that's the end of the trip
But what is it to live forever, to never exist
I sniff piff off the fingertips hoping to smell you
And teleport back to a time that I held you
Beautiful eyes, beautiful lies that I would tell to
Not knowing that my plan was to cut you down and sell you
Feeding you dreams of big, [cuddy?] honeybees
Licking fuzz from your buds, but you never heard the buzz
Just the hum from the lights, [I told you with the sun?] [?]
I hung you up to dry, I rolled you in a blunt
'Member nights that we laid under the lamp shade?
Like the light in the cave that Plato made
It was my life that you saved with the life that you gave
The price that you paid with one slice of the blade

[Chorus]
I thought we'd always be together
But I guess we can't dream forever
You know we can't be seen together
I just hope he treats you better than me
Now we've come to the end of the dream
And we fled down a dead-end street
But you know we both knew all along
This had to end inevitably
So now what do I do without you? (What I'm gon' do without you?)
How will I make it through...
[DJ Scratch Interlude]
I won't, that's how
How will I make it? How... how will I make it?
(Green lady)
How... How... How... How will I make it? I won't, that's how
