Jars Of Clay - Jealous Kind lyrics

rate me

i built another temple to a stranger

i gave away my heart to the rushing wind

i set my course to run right into danger

i sought the company of fools instead of friends

Chorus:

you know i've been unfaithful

with lovers in lines

while you're turning over tables

with the rage of a jealous kind

i chose the gallows to the aisle

thought that love would never find

hanging ropes will never keep you

and your love of a jealous kind

love of a jealous kind

tryin' to jump away from rot that keeps on spreading

solace in the shift of the sinking sand

i'd rather feel the pain all too familiar

than be broken by a lover i don't understand

'cause i don't understand

[CHORUS]

love of a jealous kind, yeah

love of a jealous kind

love of a jealous kind

one hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars

if i should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace

and love that shames the wise

betrays the hearts deceit and lies

and breaks the back of foolish pride

[CHORUS]

love of a jealous kind

love of a jealous kind

love of a jealous kind
