Title: The Truth About Love
People don't date you
They date your friends
They date your hobbies
Your clothes
Your job
People don't fall in love with you
They fall in love with your house
They fall in love with your decor
Your interests
Your tastes
You may call me cynical
But it's funny how money changes things
If you move out of the pigeon hole they've put you in
For any reason, then it's over
That's the truth about love
That's my truth I've found in life
Shallow people treating each other like something out of an IKEA catalogue
A lifestyle accessory, like a Shih Tzu in a fake handbag
That Shih Tzu? That's shits you.
That's the truth about love
