[English]

When I stare, the fire makes it impossible to run away

The man is a loser, can't handle this

I keep telling myself I don't love you

Even though I keep convincing myself of that

I’m jealous of myself, when I’m beside you

I’m jealous of myself, everything starts to feel complete

I say I don’t love you

But somehow I end up crying, yeah

I’m jealous of myself, the pain gets louder

I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

Under the midnight, the red moon

Watching over us, moonlight in silence

Only you keeps me shining

Without the sun, I’m just a stone, yeah

I’m jealous of myself, when I’m beside you

I’m jealous of myself, I want to break everything

I say I don’t love you

But somehow I end up crying, yeah

I’m jealous of myself, the pain gets louder

I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

Jealous, I’m jealous

I’m jealous of myself

I say I don’t love you

But again, I keep telling myself that, yeah

I’m jealous of myself, when I’m beside you

I’m jealous of myself, everything starts to feel complete

I’m jealous of myself, the pain gets louder

I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

I’m jealous of myself, when I’m beside you

I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

I’m jealous
