If you’ve been on Tinder any time in the last week, you’re well aware that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. While some people celebrate the day the way it was intended to be — flowers, love songs, dinners and all that – the perennially single see it as a chance to let their cynicism flag fly. That’s exactly what is happening with #KeepALoveSongHonest, a hashtag started by the Twitter account @MusicalHashtags with idea of taking the air out of some of our sappiest love songs.
There were many grown folks who just couldn’t buy in to the idea of all-consuming love. After all, they have errands to run.

Those who could manage to keep their relationships together took us to where the magic happens (then pulled back the curtain).
I wanna hold your hand
And then get to some on-top-of-the-clothes stuff
But first, I wanna hold your hand#KeepALoveSongHonest— Gary V. Foss (@garyvfoss) February 12, 2016

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you're near? #KeepALoveSongHonest
— Johnny at Home (@TweetingJohnny) February 12, 2016
No matter the answer, birds are terrible and you should leave as quickly as possible.
