Jealous Eyes
Sarah races to her car and drives into the night
Trying her best to hold her tears inside
She doesn't know where she is going
Just knows she can't stay here
'Cause he went overboard again, drunk and insecure
Cursing out her name and slamming doors
Accusing her for things she didn't do
Fiction based on fear
By now it's clear that he was
Out of his mind, might as well have been blind
Seeing only what he wanted to see through his
Jealous eyes. Jealous eyes
And she said
He'd be sorry that he never understood, never loved her like he could
And now she's gone, and she is gone for good
They fell in love at seventeen, a picture perfect memory
When he was kind and she was free like all good lovers ought to be
But time would tell the truth beneath
The smile he once wore
But won't anymore
He was out of his mind, might as well have been blind
Seeing only what he wanted to see through his
Jealous eyes. Jealous eyes
And she said
He'd be sorry that he never understood, never loved her like he could
And now she's gone, and she is gone for good
She is gone for good
She is gone for good
'Cause Sarah found his .45, can she really be to blame?
He cried for mercy but she killed him just the same
One can only handle so much pain
Before a lesson's learned
Jealous eyes
And she's just sorry that he never understood
Never loved her like he could
'Cause now he's gone, and he is gone for good
