About This Track

'Jealous Guy' by Deftones is a 2007 track from the album 'Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur'. The lyrics are a self-incriminating, remorseful account of someone who says they began to lose control, emphasises regret for hurting another person, and admits to feeling insecure and jealous, including the refrain-like confession, “I’m just a jealous guy”. The tone is apologetic and anxious, revolving around fear of rejection and the damage done.

Lyrics

Jealous Guy

I was dreaming of the past

And my heart was beating fast

I began to lose control

I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure

You might not love me anymore

I was shivering inside

I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eye

Thought that you was trying to hide

I was swallowing my pain

I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I'm just a jealous guy

I'm just a jealous guy

Beautiful and brutal: Deftones transform Crystal Palace into metal's new temple

"I’ve been saving myself just for you," Chino Moreno tells the crowd, just a day after Deftones pulled out of their Glastonbury slot due to illness. Whether that’s sincere or not, it hardly matters. By the time they hit the stage at Crystal Palace Park on Sunday night, Deftones are in peak form.
