Symptom of a jealous heart

Symptom of a selfish heart
verse
I’m jealous of how you love your brother.
I envy your best friend.
I sometimes wish we would move far away.
be me and you again.
pre chorus
I know it isn’t fair of me
to want you all to myself.
but my jealousy’s a disease.
chorus
You get angry I’m so possessive.
but that’s just the way things are.
It’s the truth of how much I need you.
Symptom of a selfish heart.
verse
It’s crazy how I’m rude to company.
I can’t wait till they leave.
It bothers me, you’re friendly to strangers.
I should be all you need.
pre chorus
I know it isn’t fair of me.
to want you all to myself.
But my jealousy’s a disease.
chorus
You get angry I’m so possessive.
but that’s just the way things are.
It’s the truth of how much I need you.
Symptom of a selfish heart.
bridge
I’ve built walls around you.
I’ve tried to fence you in.
Caused you to resent me.
cost me love and my friend.

    Good to have you back Carroll, been away too long mate.

    See you've maintained your usual high standards of lyric writing.

    An insightful story told from start to finish, excellent structure and words.

    Any chance of you running it through Suno, it has the makings of a good number.

    Hope you're hangin' around for a while.

    If you have an Ai version, I for one, would like to hear it.

    "Symptom of a selfish heart." is a lovely phrase and a great way to end the chorus.

    It gives me a slightly creepy, controlling vibe, which I'm hoping is deliberate!

    Definitely got a mood and atmosphere going!

    In terms of posting AI generated music, you're welcome to do so as per the site rules, but as you have experienced it can get a mixed reaction.

    @carroll Great hook, I too would like to hear what you could create with AI. I was reluctant to post AI too, but I got over it, so will those who have an issue with it.

    @carroll Oh Carol! These lyrics are awesome. You've described my ex to a Tee. She had a severe case of "The green-eyed monster"
