Music: Jealous by Labrinth

I was just listening to the "Viral hits" playlist on Spotify and remembered really enjoying this song. If it's already viral, you've probably heard it, but still.

This song is just so true. When someone you loved and aren't with anymore finds happiness without you, it's bittersweet--you want them to be happy. You wish them the best. You just kind of wish they found it with you. This song really hits those feelings home.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I'm jealous of the rain

That falls upon your skin

It's closer than my hands have been

I'm jealous of the rain

I'm jealous of the wind

That ripples through your clothes

It's closer than your shadow

Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause

[Chorus]

I wished you the best of

All this world could give

And I told you when you left me

There's nothing to forgive

But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was

Heartbreak and misery

It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way

You're happy without me

[Verse 2]

I'm jealous of the nights

That I don't spend with you

I'm wondering who you lay next to

Oh, I'm jealous of the nights

I'm jealous of the love

Love that was in here

Gone for someone else to share

Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

As I sink in the sand

Watch you slip through my hands

Oh, as I die here another day

Cause all I do is cry behind this smile

[Chorus]

[Outro]

It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way

You're happy without me
