Dear Jealousy

(album: My Name Is Michael Holbrook - 2019)

Jealousy, bring the music back to me

Dear jealousy
You know every part of me
Hiding where no one can see
I want you to leave

Dear jealousy
Why you smiling creepily?
Your fingertips keep holding on
But your tricks won't work on me

Oh baby, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of us
I'm jealous of everything that I know we could be, but never really seems enough
I'm jealous, I'm jealous of everyone
Jealous of the man I used to be, and the man I could become

I'm jealous of your face, of your lips, of your eyes
Jealous of your house and the car you drive
Jealous of your truth and I'm jealous of lies
I'm jealous (Dear jealousy)
Jealous of the ground beneath my feet
Jealous of your mouth and the air we breathe
Jealous of the way that you look at me
I'm jealous

It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not, everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We got one thing in common, amen
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
In every single person, even you, even me, is jealousy

Dear jealousy
When did you move in with me?
This bed wasn't made for three
It's time for you to leave

Oh baby, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of us
I'm jealous of everything that I know we could be, but never really seems enough
I'm jealous, I'm jealous of everyone
Jealous of the man I used to be, and the man I could become

I'm jealous of your face, of your lips, of your eyes
Jealous of your house and the car you drive
Jealous of your truth and I'm jealous of lies
I'm jealous (Dear jealousy)
Jealous of the ground beneath my feet
Jealous of your mouth and the air we breathe
Jealous of the way that you look at me
I'm jealous

It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not, everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We got one thing in common, amen
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
In every single person, even you, even me, is jealousy

Jealousy
Bring the music back to me
I can't even write a song
If you're standing over me (Dear jealousy)

Jealousy
I'll take the good times with the rough
I don't need to be the richest guy, I know, enough is enough (Dear jealousy)

Jealousy
Stop confusing me
I am sick of seeing everything in different shades of green (Dear jealousy)

Jealousy
It took a while for me to see
I thought I was the one who's jealous but you're jealous of me (Dear jealousy)

It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not, everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We got one thing in common, amen
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
In every single person, even you, even me, is jealousy

It's coming out to get us, get us
We better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not, everyday we get a little better at jealousy
