What Is Stranger Than Love?

lyrics

You think love is easy? Call me in a year. Or call me in three. Or maybe in five. There's nothing I haven't tried to keep love alive. If I knew the way, he'd still be here. And if I knew the way, I'd be rich. Yea, if I knew the way to make love stay, then I'd really be a fuckin witch. Well, there's a game I know to make love grow, it's called "Show Me Your Shadow" and if you want to see mine, just let me fuckin shine. If you don't like my jealousy, then it's my back you're gonna see. And if you want my light to shine on you, show me your shadow too.

You think you feel jealous? Please, let me show you how to stalk his ex girlfriend, or maybe his new girlfriend, there's still some shit the internet just won't allow. So I've stopped lookin for love. Now I'm just lookin at memes. You want to fall in love? Love is just rippin eachother's seams.

And I know love's like this I've been there before that's why I've called it quits and I've headed for the door but now I'm cuttin the chords and untyin the knots and workin real hard to not get so attached but you don't understand why writing me a letter after all this time is romantic.

Mister Romantic, I miss your letters. And all the dancing in our living room. Mister Romantic, I miss the pavement we carved our names in where the daisies bloomed. Mister Romantic, flowers at my door. Birthday cheese, and memories of whiskey on my floor. Mister Romantic, cocky yet afraid. If we'd known it end this way, would we have stayed?

Is it fear of the silence or of the coldest bed that makes us say "yes" till we're old and dead? And if I die a crone, what's so bad about? The crones are just witches, and they usually have a cat. And if love is a story, just a fictional tale, I still want to write it till I'm cold and pale. To you, God, I'm asking "was none of it true?" I'll be damned, God, if they'll take my love from you!

So it's you, God, I'm asking of - what is stranger?
It's you, God, that I'm asking of - what is stranger?
It's you, God, I'm asking above - what is stranger?
To you, God, I'm asking of - what is stranger than love?
