Unconditional

just to see you smile, I’d do anything

even if tomorrow you said never speak to me again

I’d listen in a heartbeat

but I’d love you even then

it would kill me but I’d do it

you say you don’t believe?

Well it’s been two years since she told me

and still my love for her won’t leave

though I haven’t said a word

even though you said no

though you push me away

though you said not now or ever

though you won't even be a friend

even though you don’t care

though you say you love him

If some day you need a lover, or just a friend

I’ll always be the first one there to catch you when you fall

no matter what you say or do

nothing will ever change that I love you

even if I can’t ever speak to you again

If I find you broken I’ll silently

pick you up and put the pieces back again

and when I fix you up, if even then you

don't care, I still won't give up

I’ll just leave without a word,

keep my promised silence to the last,

breath I draw I will still love you for eternity

and when times get hard you may see others flee

but one person will stick by your side through everything

because I wont leave, no that’s not me

even if there’s someone else and you marry him someday

I’ll stay alone and love you as we turn old and gray

and when I see your pretty smile as your children laugh and play

I’ll cry inside because they’re not mine but I’ll still be

overjoyed because at least you are happy
