Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Green-eyed morning
I watched you laugh with her
Her hand brushed your shoulder
Mine stayed in my pocket
I counted every second
Of the time you didn't turn around
I memorized her silhouette
While I pretended not to care
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's not her fault
And I know it's not you
But something in my chest
Keeps twisting like a screw
[Chorus]
Jealousy
Is a quiet kind of poison
Jealousy
Is a lock without a key
I'm drowning in the wanting
I'm burning in the waiting
Jealousy
Won't you set me free
[Post-Chorus]
Set me free
Oh set me free
Jealousy
[Verse 2]
She brings you coffee black
You take it with two sugars
She knows your little habits
Better than I ever could
I rehearse a hundred speeches
That I'll never get to say
I practice being gracious
While I'm falling all apart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's not her fault
And I know it's not you
But something in my chest
Keeps twisting like a screw
[Chorus]
Jealousy
Is a quiet kind of poison
Jealousy
Is a lock without a key
I'm drowning in the wanting
I'm burning in the waiting
Jealousy
Won't you set me free
[Post-Chorus]
Set me free
Oh set me free
Jealousy
[Bridge]
Maybe I should tell you
Maybe I should just confess
That every time you mention her name
I feel a little less
Like I'm something worth the keeping
Like I'm something worth the fight
Jealousy has made a home
Inside my sleepless nights
[Guitar Interlude]
[Chorus]
Jealousy
Is a quiet kind of poison
Jealousy
Is a lock without a key
I'm drowning in the wanting
I'm burning in the waiting
Jealousy
Won't you set me free
[Post-Chorus]
Set me free
Oh set me free
Jealousy
[Outro]
Set me free
Set me free
Oh jealousy
Just set me free
