The Grass is Greener on the Other Side Grass looks greener on the other side, because it's the grass that you don't have. The saying points out precisely this aspect of some people's psychology: that they think that what they want is better than what they have and in many cases they could be wrong.The Grass is not always greener on the other side.

It is an expression that refers to another place, or situation, being better than the one you are in. (or seemingly better)
to break it down:
greener grass, means better grass. The other side, is the side you are not on.

Stems from the saying, 'The grass is greener on the other side.' As in, this is true that the grass on the other side may indeed be greener, but the other side is also yellow.

"The grass is not always greener on the other side"
