Jealousy

words & music by Nate Shelkey

All of the times, the things that I’m tryin’ to take
I keep on missing what they see
So ring the bell, it’s time that we tell
Ourselves we should be on our way

If they all get together, then I’m wondering whether
There’s anyone left for me
Cause who will I talk to, or who’d even want to
Now that I can’t even speak

I don’t even mind the things they say
I’ve been feeling green, I wish it was me
It’s just jealousy

Well, I’ve done some thinking, and my heart’s been just sinking
If all of my thoughts come true
If my life was a flower, no it wouldn’t be roses
Now guess who supposes you’d see

I’m caught in my tracks, no time to relax
When you can’t even sleep anymore
I’m lying awake, picturing things I can’t take
And it’s burning me up in the night

I don’t even mind the things they say
I’ve been feeling green, I wish it was me
It’s just jealousy

You know the problem with mind games is nobody minds them
Except for the kind that you play
Because you can’t just shut off, when you think that you’ve lost
The rats keep gnawing away

I don’t even mind the things they say
I’ve been feeling green, I wish it was me
It’s just jealousy
