Jealous of Paris
Jealousy in the City of Love: Haley Joelle's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I'm jealous of Paris
I envy the city of Paris
And all the cafes
Specifically, the cafes in Paris
All the baristas
The baristas in those cafes
Who get to write your name
Jealous that others can write your name
I'm jealous of all of the people around you
I envy those who have the chance to know you
That have you to get to know
People around you who get to know you
And I'm just the girl you once knew from back home
Feeling like just a person from your past
Now the Eiffel Tower
Symbolically, the Eiffel Tower is aware of your eyes
Knows all about your eyes
Your eyes are deeply brown
The deepest of browns
Suggesting Paris has captivated you
I bet Paris has been nothing but mesmorized
Envious of the romance in the city
I'm jealous of all the romance in that city
That doesn't have to end
That doesn't have to let go
Feeling like a person from the past
Now I'm just the girl you once knew from back home
Deciding not to pursue the journey
So I guess I'll just cancel my flight
Choosing not to fly to you
You're not the guy I knew who used to try
You're not the person I knew before
To make things right
You used to try to make things right
If anyone knows how hard it is it's me
Recognizing the difficulty of the situation
I tried to tell you
Attempts to communicate the challenges
But you couldn't see
But you couldn't understand
Beyond that city
Looking beyond the confines of the city
I'm jealous of Paris
Still feeling envy towards Paris
'Cause she won your heart
Paris seems to have won your heart
And I'm just the same old girl living right off of Sunset Boulevard
Remains the same person despite location
It's really hard to admit what it is
Difficult to admit the nature of the problem
We couldn't change and grow
Unable to change and grow together
So I'm just the girl you once knew from back home
Still seen as the person from the past
And that was the only you that I'll ever know
The only version of you she will know
