Jealousy
Paris Hilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt we'd be together 'til the end
You're not the girl I once knew
Tell me where she is 'cause she's not you
You used to be that shoulder
That shoulder I could lean on through it all
But now it's getting colder
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone like you
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I was always happy
When I was watchin' you become a star
But you were only happy
When the world was openin' up my scars
And now I'm like the devil
Well if I am then what does that make you
You sold yourself for your fame
You'd still never walk a day in my shoes
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
It's such an evil thing to watch someone like you
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I thought you were my best friend
I believed that we had an unbreakable friendship
I felt we'd be together 'til the end
I thought our bond would last forever
You're not the girl I once knew
Your personality has changed and you're not the same person anymore
Tell me where she is 'cause she's not you
I miss the old version of you and I don't recognize the person you've become
You used to be that shoulder
You were my support system
That shoulder I could lean on through it all
You were always there for me whenever I needed somebody to confide in
But now it's getting colder
Our relationship has become strained and distant
There's no love between these walls
Our connection lacks warmth and affection
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Envy is a terrible emotion to experience and observe in others
It's such an evil thing to watch someone like you
It's painful to witness someone change for the worse because of their jealousy
Nobody wins when you're full of envy
Jealousy is a self-destructive emotion that doesn't benefit anyone
I was always happy
I found joy in seeing you succeed
When I was watchin' you become a star
I was there for you during your rise to fame
But you were only happy
You only seemed content when you were bringing me down
When the world was openin' up my scars
You took pleasure in exposing my weaknesses and flaws to the public eye
And now I'm like the devil
You've demonized me in order make yourself feel better
Well if I am then what does that make you
You can't criticize me while ignoring your own faults and shortcomings
You sold yourself for your fame
You compromised your integrity and authenticity in order to gain popularity
You'd still never walk a day in my shoes
You couldn't handle the challenges and obstacles I've had to face in my life
La, la, la, la, la, la
