my love is conditional
something to be earned
you withhold and yet attempt
awkward silence purchase
misunderstood transactional

I deserve to have needs met
needs not wishes, for survival
even when my want is you
when you dream love elusive
for such deceit I’ll never fall

I will not love in reasonless
never lean on stranger trust fall
trust complete but not naively
you dream trust illusory
my dream established neatly

you expect love unconditional
you could have all you desire
when I love I love completely
standard terms and conditions
but you are above such requisitions

Nature responds by
extreme weather conditions
to man's transgressions
___

I will always accept you
Unless you are different

I will always help you
Unless I'm busy helping myself

I will always find you beautiful
Unless you grow old

I will always love you
As long as you do what you're told

Conditions will always apply
A sober fact of life

Love is not unconditional


Love is not unconditional,
Love is not unconditional,
Love is not unconditional.
Even love has laws;
Yeah even love has laws.


And if there’s just one thing to learn today,
If there’s just one thing you should hear.
Then let’s hope you remain faithful,
Then I will remain near.
But if you break loves laws, by breaking my heart,
Then you and I and love itself, will sadly have to part.


No love is made here anymore,
No love is made here anymore,
No love is made here anymore.
It’s just a fading memory, a thing I once thought.


All the things we never did,
All the words we never said.
All the ******* we have to deal with,
All the times we could never forget.


All I wanted to be, was inside your heart,
All I wanted to be, was inside your heart,
All I wanted to be, was inside your heart;
But you smashed us in two and broke our love apart.


Love, love, love, love, love is dead.
Love, love, love, love, love is dead.
Love, love, love, love, love is dead.
Love is dead, inside my bed and my head.
