Reality check

### Verse 1
They say love is all you need, but that ain't the whole truth,
You can’t buy the kind of love that keeps you in your youth.
But when the bills come knockin’, and the nights get cold,
You realize love needs more than just a hand to hold.
### Chorus
Money can’t buy love, but love needs money too,
You can’t die without love, but you can’t live without the truth.
It’s a balance we all face, in this game of give and take,
Can’t die without love, but can’t live without what’s at stake.
### Verse 2
You can’t spend your heart like cash, but it’s still gotta pay,
When life gets rough, you’ll see the price you both gotta weigh.
Love is golden, love is pure, but the world demands its share,
You can’t live on love alone, when the cupboard’s bare.
### Chorus
Money can’t buy love, but love needs money too,
You can’t die without love, but you can’t live without the truth.
It’s a balance we all face, in this game of give and take,
Can’t die without love, but can’t live without what’s at stake.
### Bridge
You need love to keep you sane, and money to survive,
Without one, the other’s lost, and you’re barely alive.
It’s the push and pull we face, the weight of every day,
Can’t live without the money, but can’t die without the stay.
### Chorus
Money can’t buy love, but love needs money too,
You can’t die without love, but you can’t live without the truth.
It’s a balance we all face, in this game of give and take,
Can’t die without love, but can’t live without what’s at stake.
### Outro
So hold on to your heart, but don’t forget the cost,
In this world of give and take, neither love nor money’s lost.
You can’t die without love, but you can’t live without the fight,
So balance out your dreams, and make it through the night.
