Eli Young Band - Jet Black And Jealous lyrics

rate me

You never were one for resting easy were ya

So much that when they told me how you left us here behind

I didn’t even bat an eye believing

And words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find

I just hope that road will one day watch you walk right back to me

Till then I’ll be, jet black and jealous

And I’ll dare not let em know that now you’re gone

I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be

I’ll just keep laughing out loud and play along

As if I traded you for one the way you traded me

Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes you walked right out the door

And I hit the floor, jet black and jealous

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how could I let go

When I know where you are tonight, you look just like a queen

Still in the scene, jet black and jealous

And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburgh

Watchin’ the rain and passing headlights from some roadside corner booth

Still smiling bout the choices that you made

Hopin’ the clouds are breaking up ahead, skies blue instead of gray

But if you get out there and you find that it’s not what you thought it’d be

Remember me, jet black and jealous

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how could I let go

When I know where you are tonight, you look just like a queen

Still in the scene, jet black and jealous

Ya if you get out there and you find it’s not what you thought it’d be, come back to me

Tell me how

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how was I to know
