It Is Unconditional...

I watched you suffer

At the pleausre of those evil girls and boys

Who never let you join in

And broke all your toys

 

I felt your pain

When those awful adolescents

Tried to beat you down

And laughed at your name

 

I watched you fight your demons

Fight the voices in your head

Be taken advantage of

By "friends" who know you're easily led

 

I've watched you torture yourself

For things that aren't your fault

Poison your body

With more than just salt

 

Now I watch you lying there

In that hospital bed

You've been a stupid man

Again, so easily led

 

I wish you could just see

How great a person you are

To them you might be a ******

But to me you are a star

 

Stop hiding in the haze

Of drugs and alcohol

Because it's not just you, you hurt

When you stumble and fall

 

What a mess you've made

And it's me who's suffering now

I feel selfish for saying it

I feel like a cow

 

However daft you've been

And however bad you make me feel

I will love you forever

And that's what's real

 

That's what matters

That's what's true

I just hope you're around

To see me loving you
