Burning Jealousy
Verse 1
I see you from across the room, your laughter like a flame,
In the crowd, you’re shining bright, while I’m just feeling shame.
Your smile is like a dagger, cutting through my pride,
I’m consumed by the fire, of the jealousy I can’t hide.
Pre-Chorus
The shadows grow longer, my heart starts to race,
In the mirror of your glory, I see my own disgrace.
The flames are rising higher, with every stolen glance,
Caught in the inferno, of this bitter, twisted dance.
Chorus
Burning jealousy, it’s a fire that won’t die,
Turning love to ashes, as I watch my dreams go by.
Burning jealousy, it’s a wild, raging sea,
Consuming all my reasons, till there’s nothing left of me.
Verse 2
I hear you talking sweetly, with someone who’s not me,
Your touch, your gaze, your promises, are all too much to see.
In the corners of my mind, where shadows start to play,
Jealousy’s a thief, stealing moments of the day.
Pre-Chorus
The heat is overwhelming, my thoughts begin to burn,
In the flame of my desire, I’m lost at every turn.
The embers of my longing, they turn to smoke and steam,
In the furnace of your absence, I’m trapped within this dream.
Chorus
Burning jealousy, it’s a fire that won’t die,
Turning love to ashes, as I watch my dreams go by.
Burning jealousy, it’s a wild, raging sea,
Consuming all my reasons, till there’s nothing left of me.
Bridge
The more I see, the more I crave,
In the fire, I dig my own grave.
Every glance, a bitter tear,
Burning jealousy, I fear.
Chorus
Burning jealousy, it’s a fire that won’t die,
Turning love to ashes, as I watch my dreams go by.
Burning jealousy, it’s a wild, raging sea,
Consuming all my reasons, till there’s nothing left of me.
Outro
In the aftermath of the blaze, I’m left with scars to show,
Burning jealousy, a shadow that won’t go.
As the flames die down, and the smoke starts to clear,
I’m left with the remnants of the envy I hold dear.
