"Jealous" lyrics

"Jealous"

Just because it isn't my win doesn't mean that I'm losing
Just because it isn't my time doesn't mean I won't get mine
But sometimes
It feels like

It's a zero sum game, I know that's insane
Someone else's gain isn't my loss
Someone else's shine doesn't darken mine
But I feel sometimes quite jealous

Standing in the audience crying, what a perfect performance
Trying to lift the weight of my heart, but it's so enormous
Cause sometimes
It feels like

It's a zero sum game, I know that's insane
Someone else's gain isn't my loss
Someone else's shine doesn't darken mine
But I feel sometimes quite jealous

What the hell does that do
I don't know, do you?
I don't think that it helps very much
But I can't help feeling jealous

It's a zero sum game, I know that's insane
Someone else's gain isn't my loss
Someone else's shine doesn't darken mine
But I feel sometimes quite jealous
