"Conditional"

When nobody cares about you
But they're told to
Love becomes a law
Nobody wants to follow
But they do
Maybe they're scared
Or they don't know how to
But there are so very few
Who would stick out their neck to
Who would stick out their neck for you

And your love, oh your love
It looks just like the world
Is it placed upon places and times spent together
But oh, I remember a time
When I was a stranger with nothing to offer
With no familiarity
And love reached out to me

When no one really wants to know you
They'll still tell you
Who you are
What you lack
What to choose
And I would never do the same
Some people fight to stake their claims
And there are so very few
Who would lay down their lives to
Who would lay down their pride for you

And your love, oh your love
It looks just like the world
Is it placed upon faces apart from the others
But oh, I remember a time
When I was a stranger with nothing to offer
With no familiarity
And love reached out to me

Love isn't blind-eyed
Cold-shouldered
Love lent me an ear
And I was won over
When I was a stranger with nothing to offer
Open arms, they led me in
Oh, where have they been
