"Unconditional Love" lyrics

"Unconditional Love"

Unconditional love
And a lack of patience
Is what you gave me
You say I worry too much
While you take up habits
Buried deep within me

My temper's cutting through to call you out
It makes me sick inside to know

You let me down but you'll never let me go
Tell me when we lost control
My heart beats fast as time moves slow
You let me down but you'll never let me go
Let me go

The hand that used to feed
Now a mouth wide open
It's all so different
Excuses hold up the walls
That keep you hidden
I don't see progress

We're drowning slowly in the shallow end
It makes me sick inside to know

You let me down but you'll never let me go
Tell me when we lost control
My heart beats fast as time moves slow
You let me down but you'll never let me go
Let me go

Spare me the uncertainty and blank stares
'Cause I can't cope
Spare me the anxiety it's not fair
And let me go

Unconditional love
And a lack of patience
Is what you gave me

You let me down but you'll never let me go
Tell me when we lost control
My heart beats fast as time moves slow
You let me down but you'll never let me go
Let me go
So let me go

"Unconditional Love" is Kyle Fasel's favorite song on the album, but it nearly didn't make the cut. "We pushed the boundaries with it," he states. "It's got a slow vibe and doesn't sound like anything we've done before. It's got a real groove to it, and at first I wasn't sure if it could even go on a Real Friends record. But now, it's one of our favorites."
