“Screaming, crying, perfect storms. I could make all the tables turn. Rose garden filled with thorns. Keep you second guessing like oh my god. Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy, but you'll come back each time you leave. ‘Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream,” said 75-year-old Stewart.
