Jealousy

At dead of night, when strangers roam

The streets in search of anyone who’ll take them home

I lie alone, the clock strikes three

And anyone who wanted to could contact me

At dead of night, ’till break of day

Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake

It’s much too late

Where’ve you been?

Who’ve you seen?

You didn’t phone when you said you would!

Do you lie?

Do you try

To keep in touch? You know you could

I’ve tried to see your point of view

But could not hear or see

For jealousy

 

I never knew time passed so slow

I wish I’d never met you,

or that I could bear to let you go

At dead of night, ’till break of day

Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake

It’s much too late
