[Verse 1] Back in nineteen, we were gold Orders came, but love stayed close Near retirement, heavy boots You stood tall and cheered me through Every move, you had my back Every plan felt right on track I was yours and you were mine We were good in that season of time [Pre-Chorus] And I held on tight To the way we were Thought we’d stay alright Thought that time would blur [Chorus] But the jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns And every little thing goes wrong Jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns You pull it back, I still hold on (mmm) I still hold on [Verse 2] Then the air got cold at home One small look and I was wrong Every word became a fight Nothing ever felt just right Had to be your way, your plan Your hand on the wheel, your command If I spoke, you shut it down Turned our whole world upside down [Pre-Chorus] And I bit my tongue Tryna keep the peace But the more I gave The less I could breathe [Chorus] But the jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns And every little thing goes wrong Jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns You pull it back, I still hold on (mmm) I still hold on [Bridge] We’re tryin’ to turn the page Tryin’ to make a start But you drag the old hurt back Like a knife to the heart Jealousy don’t let love grow It takes and takes, it never slows I’m reachin’ for the last branch still Prayin’ this tree won’t finally fall [Chorus] But the jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns And every little thing goes wrong Jealousy burns, babe Jealousy burns You pull it back, I still hold on (hold on) I still hold on [Verse 3] Now I’m here with open hands Tryin’ to build what we can New day calling, same old ache Still I take the breaks you make If you let this fire die We could find our way to light But if you keep countin’ all the pain We’ll lose the whole thing for the shame [Outro] I’m hanging on On the last branch of the tree I’m hanging on Hopin’ you still see me (see me) I still see you (mmm) I still see you
