Lyrics

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
