„Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.“

Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Contesto: We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.
