Stubborn Love - Mercutio

The stubborn love of a woman

Cost me the brother love of a man

What I got is a lover

And what I lost is a friend

Which of these would follow me

Until my dying day

I can’t say

I can’t say

No, I can’t say

Well another time and another place

My hand would be across your face

But I can only bring myself to cry

So this is how our story ends

Betrayed by two of my best friends

Well I can think of kinder ways to die

Now I was standing on a pew

Just clapping for the bride and groom

And you had gone to meet him at a bar

When I heard your message on my phone

I ran outside into the snow

I wept for you, I leapt into my car

The stubborn love of a woman

Cost me the brother love of a man

What I got is a lover

And what I lost is a friend

Which of these would follow me

Until my dying day

I can’t say

I can’t say

No, I can’t say

My hands tremble and shake

My head is swollen with ache

Let’s see how much hurt my soul can take, yeah

Well I yelled at him and he yelled at me

And he said «Good luck» and I said «We'll see»

And I stormed off and there our friendship went

And I got her back but I could’ve cried

When I was laying by her side

Looking at the roses that he sent

The stubborn love of a woman

Cost me the brother love of a man

What I got is a lover

And what I lost is a friend

Which of these would follow me

Until my dying day

I can’t say

I can’t say

No, I can’t say

I can’t say

I can’t say

No, I can’t say

Well my story has a moral too:

«Damned if I don’t, damned if I do»

Well stubborn love has bested me again
