Jealous Rage

C. 2002 Jackie Tice

I look at you lying there
I watch you in grave despair
I thought you loved me

What you’re saying cannot be true
He’s forcing you
I thought you loved me

Why didn’t you help me get away?
Why didn’t you help me get away?
It would’ve been s easy.

You see me watching you
If your eyes could speak, I’d be hurting too
I thought you loved me

I’m sorry this is happening
This is not what I meant to be
I thought you loved me

Why didn’t you help me get away?
(Like you said you would)
Why didn’t you help me get away?
It would’ve been so easy

Years later, this still sharp knife
Is cutting a trail through the men in my life
I thought you loved me

I’m guilty, I’m scared, I’m bruised
If you love me, you may be killed too
I thought you loved me

Why didn’t you help me get away?
Why didn’t you help me get away?
It would’ve been so easy.
