Jealousy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A bright blue sky's what I used to see but
My vision's been torn after all that's been
And I know it's not right and I've crossed the line but
Please understand that there was a time when
I let my heart go just to watch it burn
So I told myself it's a lesson learned
But did I really learn?

[Chorus]
Jealousy
I guess you're finally taking over me
Jealousy
I'm suffering from your control
And you're covering me like a bear skin coat
Getting harder to breathe under your control
Jealousy
Oh can't you stay away from me?

[Verse 2]
The voices inside of my head
Keep me wondering where we're at
Like a fire, it starts to spread
Covering up my skin and flesh and
I keep fighting
But the monster won't let me win, oh
I keep fighting
But the monster won't let me win, oh
[Chorus]
Jealousy
I guess you're finally taking over me
Jealousy
I'm suffering from your control
And you're covering me like a bear skin coat
Getting harder to breathe under your control
Jealousy
Oh can't you stay away from me?

[Bridge]
I can't breathe
I've lost my soul
'Cause you've taken all
I thought I'd know

And you're covering me like a bear skin coat
Getting harder to breathe under your control
And you're covering me like a bear skin coat
Getting harder to breathe under your control

[Chorus]
Jealousy
I guess you're finally taking over me
Jealousy
I'm suffering from your control
And you're covering me like a bear skin coat
Getting harder to breathe under your control
Jealousy
Oh, can't you stay away from me?
