lyrics

It follows me around
From man to man, from town to town
A sniper in the shadows waiting to take me down
No matter what I do
No matter how much I trust you
No amount of pushing it away makes it any less true

And when you ask me what's wrong
It's always the same old, same old shit
And I'm so sick of feeling it
I'm so sick of it

Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Oh will I ever get myself free
Tonight it's you and me and my jealousy

She's anyone and no one
Who makes you laugh, who's too much fun
She's never done me any harm but I wanna cut her throat
And I hate that it's a part of me
It's so far from who I wanna be
But I can feel its claws sinking deeper til it grips my bones

And when you ask me what's wrong
It's always the same old, same old shit
And no one but myself to blame for it

Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Oh will I ever get myself free
Tonight it's you and me and my jealousy

Nobody can make a fool out of me
If I get there first

I don't own you
You could fall in love with someone else
But I can't continue running from myself
It's so far from who I wanna be
But is it trying to protect me

Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
I've tried all my life to get myself free
It's always you and me and

Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Maybe I'll never get myself free
Tonight it's you and me
It's always you and me
Forever you and me and jealousy
