Song story and background information

The melancholic fifth single lifted from 'Younger Than Some, Smarter Than Most'. 'Love Is Not The Answer' is a reflective pop song about not relying on others for happiness in life, and having strength in your own character, rather than looking for love to combat insecurities. The arrangement is a nod towards the production style of the Pet Shop Boys' 'Behaviour' album.

Lyrics
From out of this window
A sense of perspective falls in place
Can't cope with your tears
Forever cascading down your face
Told you to leave me
The smell of your perfume's faded
Another finale
We'd never have made it

You've got to get yourself your own life
Rather than waiting for the good times
Don't hold your loneliness to ransom
Just know that love is not the answer

Where does the time go?
And will you ever really know
Of all my effort?
Personal pride won't let it show
Draw the conclusion
That you weren't meant to be with me
And what would it be
To truly be carefree?

You've got to get yourself your own life
Rather than waiting for the good times
Don't hold your loneliness to ransom
Just know that love is not the answer
You won't get half the things you're after
If you let loving be your master
Instead of living through the bad times
You've got to get yourself your own life

Time, and time again
I've sworn that I'll not fall again
Now is the time to say
I'll definitely not fall again
No

You've got to get yourself your own life
Rather than waiting for the good times
Don't hold your loneliness to ransom
Just know that love is not the answer
You won't get half the things you're after
If you let loving be your master
Instead of living through the bad times
You've got to get yourself your own life

Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
(You've got to get yourself your own life)
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
(You've got to get yourself your own life)
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
(You've got to get yourself your own life)
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
Love is not the answer, love is not the answer
