You should run to the arms of a better man
Putting miles between our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close

Alone in the dead of night
The night that let us burn
In misery, we try to fight
We fight, but never learn
And I'm doing the best I can
But I can't treat you right
Someday, in another land
Another land and a different life

I never know when you're going
I only know when you're gone
I never know when you're going
I only know when you're gone

You should run to the arms of a better man
Putting miles between our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close
I'll run to the arms of the girl I have
She don’t know about our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close

So I keep you close
Oh, I keep you close
Never letting go
So I keep you close

I'd bury you if I could
I could, but I can't
And I know that I should
I should not think like that
It'd be easier not to feel
Feel the weight of what you bring
The hurt doesn't let me heal
Would you heal me from this feeling?

You should run to the arms of a better man
Putting miles between our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close
I'll run to the arms of the girl I have
She don’t know about our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close

So I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
Oh, I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
Never letting go (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
So I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
So I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
Oh, I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
Never letting go (Oh whoa, oh whoa)
So I keep you close (Oh whoa, oh whoa)

I never know when you're going
I never know when you're gone
I never know when you're going
I never know when you're gone

You should run to the arms of a better man
Putting miles between our past
A jealous heart does all it can to keep you close
