Love Is Not The Answer
Love isn’t the answer,
Love won’t mend your heart,
Love isn’t the answer,
But it’s a start,Withering flowers in ivory towers,
Sleep in a bed filled with thorns,
Yes I know full well what you are trying to say,
But I only hear what I want to hear,
Lie and indulge idle curiosity,
Still I feel the lingering charge,
Embers still possess the potential to burn,
Instead we adhere to the law,
Of diminishing returns,Love isn’t the answer,
Love isn’t enough,
Love isn’t the answer,
And that’s just tough,The love that we made only serves to abrade,
My memory continues to fade,
Remind me why I’m here,
All we had was now and now is no more,
We mutually abhor where we mutually adored,
Every action corrodes and every sentence erodes,
Where did it go right and where did it go wrong?
I don’t know,Love isn’t the answer,
Love won’t mend your heart,
Love isn’t the answer,
But it’s a start,
Williams, 2002. My epic ballad. One for the next album.
