Lyrics for Unconditional Love
We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?) Faded cliches and makeup Dancing and singing scripted delight Every act ends in breakup That same old boring story I've played too many nights The curtain Oh, but oh If some magic should find me Like the magic in our eyes, oh If your eyes would invite me, oh We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?) For my finale, waiting Off in the wings to sing the last song And when we're done pretending Throw me a white bouquet Oh I close the curtain behind me And enclose me in your arms If your arms would invite me, oh We could change the whole story of love Same old play I'm getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love (Could we be real love?)
