You never were one for resting easy were ya   So much that when they told me how you left us here behind   I didn’t even bat an eye to leavin   And words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find   I just hope that road will one day watch you walk right back to me   Till then I’ll be, jet black and jealous      And I’ll dare not let em know that now you’re gone   I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be   I’ll just keep laughing out loud and play along   As if I traded you for one the way you traded me   Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes you walked right out the door   And I hit the floor, jet black and jealous      Tell me how was I to know   Tell me how could I let go   When I know where you are tonight, you look just like a queen   Still in the scene, jet black and jealous      And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburgh   Watchin’ the rain and passing headlights from some roadside corner booth   Still smiling bout the choices that you made   Hopin’ the clouds are breaking up ahead, skies blue instead of gray   But if you get out there and you find that it’s not what you thought it’d be   Remember me, jet black and jealous       Tell me how was I to know   Tell me how could I let go   When I know where you are tonight, you look just like a queen   Still in the scene, jet black and jealous      Ya if you get out there and you find it’s not what you thought it’d be, come back to me      Tell me how      Tell me how was I to know   Tell me how was I to know
