Jealousy Is a Familiar Friend
Reese Lansangan Lyrics

Boy I know
I am aware that our relationship ended a while back.

It's been over for a while
Our relationship ended some time ago.

You know I'm not the kind of girl who cries
I am not the type of person to shed tears over a breakup.

For a long time
This feeling of sadness did not last for an extended period.

But I think it's okay
I believe it is acceptable.

If I still think about you once or twice
It's natural for me to have fleeting thoughts about you.

To tell the truth you might have crossed my mind
Honestly, you may have come to my thoughts.

But don't feel so flattered about it
Do not get too excited about it.

It's funny how you think that you are over somebody
It's ironic how someone believes they have moved on from someone else.

But then you hear about his new girl
When you learn about his new partner.

And then you're looking in the mirror
You start questioning yourself.

Second guessing everything
You start doubting your choices.

What is this feeling?
What is this emotion that I'm experiencing?

I just wanna hurl
I just want to vomit.

Honey, I swear my self esteem has nothing to do about it
Dear, I assure you, the way I feel is not about my self-worth.

But I think I'm going crazy
But I believe I am losing my sanity.

I might as well shout it out
I might as well express it vocally.

If I'm being honest
Honestly speaking,

I get jealous, I get jealous
I experience feelings of jealousy.

I can't help it
It's not something I can control.

Over one fella
All because of one person.

Who's one helluva flirt
Who is an excellent flirter.

After all this time
Despite the time passed,

I guess it still hurts
I suppose it still causes me pain.

Believe me, I know
Trust me, I understand.

You are so happy where you are
You're content with your current situation.

You know I'm not the kind of girl who'll try
You know I am not someone who will attempt to ruin your happiness.

Ruining your good vibe
Destroying your current good mood.

But is it okay
However, is it alright?

To say that you have crossed my mind
To mention that you have been on my thoughts.

To tell the truth, I just can't leave
The truth of the matter is that I cannot forget.

The very best parts of us behind
I cannot leave the wonderful memories we shared behind.

But I think I'm going crazy
But I believe I am losing my sanity.

I might as well shout it out
I might as well express it verbally.

Well if I'm being honest
If I am truthful,

I get jealous, I get jealous
I experience feelings of jealousy.

I can't help it
I cannot control it.

Over one fella
Just because of one person.

Who's one helluva mess
Who is an absolute mess.

Oh, now I know
Now, I understand.

That this is nothing but a blow
That this is just a hit.

To my ego
To my self-esteem.

It's not like I want you back
It is not like I desire you again.

I guess I just feel a little attacked by you
I suppose I feel a bit targeted by you.

You and I
You and I as a couple.

We were no good together
We were not compatible as a pair.

But this might be a classic case
However, this could be a typical situation.

Of wanting what you don't have
Of desiring something you cannot obtain.

Anymore
Previously possible but now impossible.

To tell the truth
Honestly speaking,

I get jealous, I get jealous
I experience feelings of jealousy.

I can't help it
It's not something I can control.

Over one fella
All because of one person.

Who's one helluva mess
Who is an absolute disaster.

I can't fake this
I cannot pretend I don't feel this way.

I can't shake this
I cannot rid myself of these emotions.

After all this time
Despite the time that has passed,

I guess I'm still hung up on you
I suppose I am still preoccupied with thoughts of you.
