What is jealousy, my dear?
It's every time that you ignore me.
Insecurity creeps near in green-eyed thoughts and doubts.
Don't look over your shoulder now,
'Cause I'll be right behind you.
You are running through dead leaves--I told you to sweep them out.

   Can't you see what a fool you're being
   And what a mess you've made?

Hello precious, here's a thought:
I'm in my head, you're in yours.
The worries I had couldn't get under your skin.
Conversations we don't have;
Questions I refuse to ask--
I'll write the answers on your arms in hope that they'll sink in.

I'd be messed up too if I were you;
Thank God I'm not.

   What would you have me do? Your behaviour's nothing new,
   But I can't pretend that it's ok.
   So won't you, darling, please, pick an argument with me
   Before there's nothing left to say.

The hope that you're still here will fade before
The cracks between your words won't tolerate me anymore.

Don't miss out now because you're losing what you have;
Don't worry now 'cause you can't lose what you don't have.
