Jealousy (Not For Me)

Some folks grow green when the sun don’t shine
Peek through curtains, whisper “mine”
But darling, I was never taught that way.
If you’ve got joy, I say: hooray!

[Chorus]
Jealousy?
No, not for me.
I like my love with liberty.
You can dance, flirt, wander free,
Just come back honest, come back true to we.

Some guard hearts like dragon gold
Count each glance like stories told
But I believe in softer math:
Your joy don’t take away my path.

[Chorus]
Jealousy?
It smells like fear.
I’d rather hold you close than own you, dear.
Let’s be brave, not small, not sly,
If you need the sky, I won’t ask why.

They told me love was mine to keep 
But I know better.
It’s not a lock.
It’s not a leash.
It’s not a race.
It’s not a war.
It’s grace.

So if you’re kissed by someone’s light
I won’t shrink. I’ll still shine bright.
I wish them well, I wish you peace 

Love ain’t real if it needs a lease.

[Chorus]
Jealousy?
Nah, not my thing.
I’ve got better songs to sing.
I want your truth, not your cage.
Let’s love with kindness. Let’s turn the page.

If you’re mine, then you’re still you.
And that’s what makes this whole thing true.
No fear. No fuss. No need to spy.
Just open arms, and a winkin’ eye.
