I’ll give you countless amounts of outright
Acceptance if you want it. I will give you
Encouragment to choose the path that you want if you need it.
You can speak of anger and doubts,
Your fears and freak-outs and I’ll hold it.
You can share your so-called
Shamefilled accounts of times in your life and I won’t judge it.
And there are no strings attached to it
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it’s my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
You can ask for space for yourself
And only yourself and I’ll grant it.
You can ask for freedom as well
Or time to travel and you’ll have it.
You can ask to live by yourself
Or love someone else and I’ll support it.
You can ask for anything you want
Anything at all and I’ll understand it.
And there are no strings attached to it
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it’s my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
I bet you’re wonderin’ when
The next payback shoe will eventually drop.
I bet you’re wonderin’ when my conditional police will force you to cough up.
I bet you’re wonderin’ how far you now have danc-ed your way back into debt.
This is the only kind of love
As I understand it
That there really is.
You can express your deepest of truths
Even if it means I’ll lose you and I’ll hear it.
You can fall into the abyss
On the way to your bliss
I’ll empathize with.
You can say that you’ll have to skip town
To chase your passion and I’ll hear it.
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life chrisis and I’ll hold it.
And there are no strings attached to it
You owe me nothin’ for giving the love that I give.
You owe me nothin’ for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it’s my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
You owe me nothin’ for giving the love that I give.
You owe me nothin’ for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it’s my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
