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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding

Faded cliches and makeup
Dancing and singing, scripted delight
Every act ends in break-up
That same old boring story I've played too many nights

The curtain and I fall when
Fake arrows strike my heart
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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding

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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding

Be 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'd close the curtain behind me
And enclose me in your arms, oh
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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding

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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding

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

And we'd be real love
And see a real love story unfolding
