Jealous

Flo Rida · Other Songs - Flo Rida

It's been a month since the Fourth of July

Stood there and stared at the grief in my eyes

Leave it to me to live out a lie



So I sat on the curb and I cried like a child

Catching my breath just walk for awhile

And I thought of what could go wrong



I'm already gone

Don't say a word

I can't hear you

Don't hold me close

I can't feel you



So I stopped at the store to grab cigarettes

Couldn't say it out loud couldn't fathom it yet

You finally feel and we feel like this



I'm sorry just wasn't enough destroying your faith

Preserving your trust we couldn't choose

And neither could I



I know that I left you for dead

Don't give up so soon

Because you know that we all have a bed

It's waiting for you in the recovery room



Just forget everything that I said

Washed out the wounds

Walls painted red

Waiting for you in the recovery room



She stood there in her summer dress

Wind caught her hair and failed to confess

I smiled as we raced through the night

My hand caught her wings then nothing felt right



I know that I left you for dead

Don't give up so soon

Because you know that we all have a bed

It's waiting for you in the recovery room



Just forget everything that I said

Washed out the wounds

Walls painted red

Waiting for you in the recovery room
