Conditional
Unraveling Love's Conditions: Laura Mvula's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I've been doing the best I can with all that I have
I've been trying my best with everything I possess.
All I really needed was a little compassion
All I truly wanted was a bit of empathy or understanding.
Another blow to the ego
Another hit to my self-esteem.
A victim of conditional love
Feeling harmed by love that's given only under certain conditions.
All up into my shadow
Feeling overwhelmed by my darker side or unresolved issues.
Oh, you make it look easy
You appear to effortlessly handle things.
When you took it all from me
When you took everything away from me.
Left me for empty
Left me feeling completely hollow or empty.
That familiar sorrow
A familiar feeling of sadness or grief.
Another blow to the ego
Another blow to my self-esteem.
What kinda magic?
Questioning what kind of sorcery or illusionary trick is at play.
Poof poof, then vanish
Disappear suddenly or magically.
Drop me at the ground zero
Feeling dropped off at the very beginning or a starting point of something traumatic.
Another blow to my ego
Another hit to my self-esteem.
I don't cry no tears for you
I'm not shedding tears for you.
I needed love unconditional
I needed love that doesn't come with conditions or requirements.
Another blow to the ego
Another hit to my self-esteem.
A victim of conditional love
Feeling hurt by love that's given only under specific conditions.
Done living a fiasco
Finished dealing with a mess or chaotic situation.
Done giving into a feeling
Stopped giving in to a particular emotion or sensation.
Taken up in a moon beam
Enveloped in a ray of moonlight.
Woke up in a mid-dream
Waking up in the middle of a dreamlike state.
A provisional kindred soul
A temporary or conditional kind of connection with another person.
Another blow to the ego
Another hit to my self-esteem.
A victim of conditional love
Feeling hurt by love given only under certain conditions.
What kinda habit?
What sort of pattern or routine?
Leave me here stranded?
Leave me here alone or isolated.
Think I need to fly solo
Thinking I need to be independent or go it alone.
Break the chain to my ego
Break the cycle of my self-esteem issues.
I don't cry no tears for you
I'm not shedding tears for you.
I needed love unconditional
I needed love that doesn't come with conditions or requirements.
I don't cry no tears for you
I'm not shedding tears for you.
I needed love unconditional
I needed love that doesn't come with conditions or requirements.
I don't cry no tears for you
I'm not shedding tears for you.
I needed love unconditional
I needed love that doesn't come with conditions or requirements.
I don't cry no tears for you (cry for you)
I'm not shedding tears for you (crying for you).
I needed love unconditional
I needed love that doesn't come with conditions or requirements.
