You smiled at my name, then looked away Like a match in your hand that you couldn’t obey One little doubt turned the room cold Now every sweet thing feels bought and sold You read too much into a passing glance Turned a small mistake into a second chance And I watched the trust start to crack Once it bends that hard, it don’t come back Jealousy don’t knock, it slides right in Tells you a lie and calls it a friend It paints the heart in a poisoned shade Then makes you pay for the love you made Jealousy burns what it wants to keep Jealousy turns your best to weak It breaks the bond, it splits the room Then leaves behind a bitter bloom Jealousy burns what it wants to keep It digs too deep, it cuts too steep Hold it close and you’ll watch it fall Jealousy takes, then takes it all It got in your voice, it got in mine Made us cross the line one doubt at a time You asked who I called, who I saw Like love was a trial and trust was law Then friends stepped back from the table edge Tired of walking that emotional ledge Nobody stays where they’re under a light That makes their kindness feel like a fight Jealousy don’t knock, it slides right in Tells you a lie and calls it a friend It turns soft words into a test And leaves two hearts with no place to rest Jealousy burns what it wants to keep Jealousy turns your best to weak It breaks the bond, it splits the room Then leaves behind a bitter bloom Jealousy burns what it wants to keep It digs too deep, it cuts too steep Hold it close and you’ll watch it fall Jealousy takes, then takes it all I’ve seen it ruin a family line Turn a loyal hand to a clenched-up fist It don’t just hurt the one you blame It poisons every name it kisses And once the truth starts feeling small You lose the ones who’d catch your fall By the time you beg for one more day The good you had has slipped away Jealousy burns what it wants to keep Jealousy turns your best to weak It breaks the bond, it splits the room Then leaves behind a bitter bloom Jealousy burns what it wants to keep It digs too deep, it cuts too steep Hold it close and you’ll watch it fall Jealousy takes, then takes it all Don’t feed the spark Don’t let it grow What you don’t trust You won’t hold close
