JEALOUSY
The Confession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's an aura that surrounds your every move,
as the jealousy f**ks me!
Sitting here all alone I don't wanna live this way,
free my soul of ridicule let it fly away.
Ever gray, everyday hurts so good.
There's envy and it stings just like a wound,
Sitting here all alone I don't wanna live this way,
free my soul of ridicule let it fly away.
This is not the end!
O0o0o0o jealousy, o0o0o0o jealousy
Jealousy sits next to me
it seizes hold of me…
You've always wanted me,
to feel the sting of jealousy
And now the blind can see,
you torment me, this captive is set free.
You've always haunted me, these ghosts agree.
It's hard to pull yourself up from the flames,
when you're burning bridges to stay the same.
Hard to escape the trap in which you've laid.
When you're the bait,
you'd hate to ever change…
Jealousy, jealous me, jealousy…
This is not the end!
You've always wanted me
to feel the sting of jealousy.
