Tryin' just to rise above,
|
But it's inevitably sinkin' low.
|
And I'm tryin' to take the higher road,
|
But the more I lift me up, the deeper down I go
|
|
And who do I think I'm kidding?
|
This graciousness ain't exactly fitting.
|
And I must admit:
|
I know it don't look pretty.
|
|
But I'm jealous of the air that fills you,
|
The cigarette that slowly kills you,
|
The novelty of other women...
|
All their kisses-- That's a given!
|
I'm jealous of your saddest day,
|
The tear that lingers on your face...
|
Well, I'm jealous.
|
|
Strangers that you'll never know...
|
Well, even they-- they get to
|
Watch you come and go
|
While I sit here like a girl inside a bubble:
|
Removed from all your victories,
|
Untouched by all your troubles.
|
|
And who do I think I'm kidding?
|
You won't be running back
|
Into this life I'm living.
|
And I'm slightly pissed that I'd even give a shit.
|
|
But I'm jealous of the air that fills you,
|
The cigarette that slowly kills you,
|
The novelty of other women...
|
All their kisses-- That's a given!
|
I'm jealous of your saddest day,
|
The tear that lingers on your face...
|
Well, I'm jealous.
|
|
Oh damn, I-- I love you...
|
More than I ever wanted to.
|
And now all that's left are these deep regrets,
|
And this all-comsuming emptiness...
|
|
And I'm jealous of the words you fumble--
|
From your silky lips they stumble..
|
Jealous of the nights in winter,
|
And the covers that you cling to.
|
I'm jealous of your guilty conscience:
|
It's always right there with you--
|
Waiting, watching...
|
|
I'm jealous of the air that fills you,
|
The cigarette that slowly kills you,
|
The novelty of other women...
|
All their kisses-- That's a given!
|
I'm jealous of your saddest day,
|
The tear that lingers on your face...
|
|
Oh, I'm jealous of the air that fills you,
|
The cigarette that slowly kills you,
|
The novelty of other women...
|
All their kisses-- That's a given!
|
I'm jealous of your saddest day,
|
The tear that lingers on your face...
|
|
Well, I'm jealous.
|
Oh, I'm...
