I give you a jealous scene
I show you my war wounds
Kindness that bares the chest
In plain view of all, out of courtesy
Like someone giving affection
Jealousy that won't leave the chest
Is a thorn that cuts straight
The wound where all evil ferments
You can shout it to the four winds
But take care of my torments
Like a gift from someone who loves you
Keep it with the certainty
That there's someone who wants you like this
And if I sometimes abuse mine
It's 'cause you never flinch
No matter how much jealousy I provoke in you
Jealousy that won't leave the chest
Is a thorn that cuts straight
The wound where all evil ferments
