Superficial
Superficial you hide what's within
Love you show what you want seen
But we never comprehend
That you are the world's great dissembler

Love you're so shallow
But every time I hear love's trumpet
Start to blow

Tilting at windmills again

Love you give us a wink
And we let our assumptions flow
We blame you but the fault is all ours
Superficial love you are what yo
