Love Is Not Made Of Gold (feat. Jimmy Gnecco)

Pete Shoulder

Love is not made of gold
No matter what you've been told
It's nothing but a lie
It'll begin to rust
Tarnish and turn to dust
Where once it used to shine
Cause it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold
Love is not built to last
It shatters just like glass
Time and time again
No more precious than jewels
Just a game that's played by fools
That always ends in pain
Yes it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold
It'll turn a beggar into a believer
Build a shrine
And fall to his knees
Cause it all glitters until
It deceives you
Curse the day
That he finally sees
Well it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold
