Unconditional Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro]
Mm
Mm, hmm-mm
Mm, hmm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm

[Verse 1]
Feed my silence (Feed my silence)
Makes my heart so cold (Makes my heart so cold)
You don't call me (You don't call me)
Take my pulse, I can't feel it anymore (Woah-oh)
Can't feel it anymore (Feel it anymore), feel it anymore (Feel it anymore)
Take my pulse, I can't feel it anymore
Waitin' on my love to walk through the door
Waitin' for you
I'm waitin' for you

[Chorus]
Keep my hopes up every time
I don't even know how we set the bar so low (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I forgive you for whatever you've done to me
That's how much I love you
That's how much I fuck with you (That's how much I fuck with you)
I would give you room to figure it all out
That's how much I'm stuck with you (That's how much I'm stuck with you)
Unconditional love comes with a price
[Part II]

[Bridge]
Two steps, oh-oh (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Two steps forward, one step back
We can never stay on track
Spent all day avoiding your phone
And now we both back at square one
I know it hurts when I'm not there
Don't understand why you're so scared
Push me away, then wonder where
Where is the one who always cared?

[Chorus]
So I guess if you want me, you got me, baby, I'm yours now
They want a ticket to ride, well, sorry, lil' baby, we sold out
And I dare you to find somebody who gonna be more down
If we fightin' for love, lil' baby, I'm ready to throw down
So I guess if you want me, you got me, baby, I'm yours now (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
They want a ticket to ride, well, sorry, lil' baby, we sold out (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
And I dare you to find somebody who gonna be more down (More down)
If we fightin' for love, lil' baby, I'm ready to go down

[Outro]
Not only are the masks shed off, but also the notion that war is romantic
The idea that there are heroes and these heroes are supposed to be idolized, and idolized because of what they do in war

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
