Green-Eyed Monster

My eyes are brown but anyone would think they were green right now,

I'd put her down but I don't want to be causing scenes right now,

You barely have to lift a finger while I try and haul myself off the ground,

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs for help but you barely have to make a sound,

My eyes are brown but anyone would think they were green right now,

I'm falling down but you can fly without wings somehow,

I try to pretend it doesn't bother me but it feels like you've won the lottery with my ticket,

So I fiddle and I fidget and try to squidge it in a corner at the back of my mind,

But now the mockingbird is mocking me because you didn't do it properly,

So here I am, battered, bruised and purple,

Is there glimmer of hope?

I'll trace the earth's circle,

You've got the world wrapped round your finger,

While I'm a trespasser on the other side,

You can sweet talk your way to what you want so I sugarcoat my words but they walk away,

My eyes are brown but anyone would think they were green right now,

I'm falling down but you can fly without wings somehow,

I try to pretend it doesn't bother me but it feels like you've won the lottery with my ticket,

So I fiddle and I fidget and try to squidge it in a corner at the back of my mind,

But now the mockingbird is mocking me because you didn't do it properly,

Your picture sits in the earth's frame,

Round, like a wedding ring, united.

My presence remains uninvited,

I look up at the sky in frustration as the stars spell out your name,

My eyes are brown but anyone would think they were green right now,

I'm falling down but you can fly without wings somehow,

I try to pretend it doesn't bother me but it feels like you've won the lottery with my ticket,

So I fiddle and I fidget and try to squidge it in a corner at the back of my mind,

But now the mockingbird is mocking me because you didn't do it properly,
