No you never were one for resting easy were ya So much that when they told me how you left us here behind That I didn’t even bat an eye believing In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find I just hoped that road would one day watch you walk right back to me ‘Til then I’ll be Jet black and jealous
And I’ll dare not let ‘em know that now you’re gone How I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be I just keep laughin’ out loud and play along As if I traded you for one the way you traded me ‘Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes You walked right out the door And I hit the floor Jet black and jealous
Tell me how was I to know Tell me how can I let go I know wherever you are tonight You look just like a queen Stealing the scene Jet black and jealous
And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburg Watching the rain in passing headlights From some roadside corner booth Still smiling ‘bout the choices that you made Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead Skies blue instead of grey But if you get out there and you find That it’s not what you thought it’d be, remember me Jet black and jealous
Tell me how was I to know Tell me how can I let go I know wherever you are tonight You look just like a queen Stealing the scene Jet black and jealous
Yeah if you get out there and you find That it’s not what you thought it’d be come back to me
Tell me how Tell me how was I to know Tell me how was I to know
