about

In life, within ourselves and in our relationships with others, there should be no conditions. We should be accepted by others and accept ourselves just as we are - with unconditionality.

lyrics

You know we've only got one life to live
That's why I'm so surprised you've got so little to give
When you gonna give me back the freedom that I crave?
We're scraps upon the wind and there's nothing here that's left to save

This love will only start eroding me
Ain't ever gonna be about owning me
Why can't you love me just because I'm me?
Why won't you give me just a little
Unconditionality
Why won't you let me be me...and just love me?

You've got my heart, my soul, all twisted up behind
While you can't even bother or pretend to be kind
I want a love with no conditions and just a little respect
Someone who wants me with all my flaws and scars and yet

Your strange love's eroding me
Seems to be all about owning me
But you can't take who I'm meant to be...I'm just me
Why can't you offer to me
Your unconditionality
Why won't you let me be me...and just love me?

I see nothing but hypocrisy
Your empty words ringing so hollow to me
Why do you see love as some game to play?
Well OK
Sacrifice your queen and let me fly away
Why d'you make me stay
Cos you just turn away
When you don't like to see a part of me that's not perfect

When we began this thing, you really had me fooled
Cos ever since that day, yeah, all you've done, is push and pull
True love will always accept another person's flaws
This ain't enough for me yeah, I'm out the door, cos I want more
Of what you can't give me

Your careless love eroded me
You won't get the chance again to be owning me
I'm stepping into the light and taking care of me (yes me)
Do you even know the meaning of
Unconditionality
Why couldn't you have just loved me?
Cos I'm sure it's there, waiting somewhere
Now that I'm free, it's waiting for me cos I'm worth it

Unconditionality
