Jealousy
Escape Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams runnin round
And around my head
I feel so hot
I feel so low
Seems those dreams won't let me go
Won't fade out
Won't let me be
Dragging me down
My jealousy
Love is cruel and love is blind
Love is creeping from behind
Hot nights full of flames
Burning me up
With her free fall games
I feel so hot
I feel so low
When those memories
Won't let me go
Won't fade out
Won't let me be
So bad it's killing me
Dragging me down
My jealousy
