So, you think
What
They have to provide something
They have to bring something to the table
Unconditional love is a fairytale
Yeah, but isn't that kind of our own fault
Every interaction is transactional
Is transactional, yes
Rather conditional
Hm
Kick me out of bed and send me on my way
My body is here but my mind runs away
I take deep breaths in and I exhale a new face
Walking out the door feels like running in place
And I'm in this race and I can't see the end
And if I finish first well, what do I win
The terms and conditions are not what they seem
Just do what you're told
Follow your dreams
Was loving me just a burden to bear
Did you get what you want
Were you even there
Was loving me such a burden to bear
This cycle repeats of that I'm aware
And I take a step forward
And I become a new me
And I know I might never truly be free
But time marches on
The world's beneath your feet
Take all that you've learned
And let it repeat
This is a life that we are forced to lead
And we may never get to truly be free
But deep inside ourselves we must seek
The kind of love that comes without any strings
