Jealous Lyrics

[Verse 1]I'm jealous of the rainThat falls upon your skinIt's closer than my hands have beenI'm jealous of the rainI'm jealous of the windThat ripples through your clothesIt's closer than your shadowOh, I'm jealous of the wind[Chorus]'Cause I wished you the best ofAll this world could giveAnd I told you when you left meThere's nothing to forgiveBut I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found wasHeartbreak and miseryIt's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the wayYou're happy without me[Verse 2]I'm jealous of the nightsThat I don't spend with youI'm wondering who you lay next toOh, I'm jealous of the nightsI'm jealous of the loveLove that was in hereGone for someone else to shareOh, I'm jealous of the loveYou might also like[Chorus]'Cause I wished you the best ofAll this world could giveAnd I told you when you left meThere's nothing to forgiveBut I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found wasHeartbreak and miseryIt's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the wayYou're happy without me[Bridge]As I sink in the sandWatch you slip through my handsOh, as I die here another day'Cause all I do is cry behind this smile[Chorus]I wished you the best ofAll this world could giveAnd I told you when you left meThere's nothing to forgiveBut I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found wasHeartbreak and miseryIt's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the wayYou're happy without me-e-e-eee[Outro]It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the wayYou're happy without me121EmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“I grew up not really having a father figure and it didn’t bother me because he wasn’t there in the first place,” he told The Evening Standard. “But then he started other families and I was jealous. It was like he was happy without our family.” “I didn’t want it to be to self indulgent so listeners couldn’t grab their own personal experience from it,” he told The Sun. “But I think it is one of the strongest songs because it made me have to take a bit of myself out and put on a record and I’ve never really done that before.”
