unconditional

look at us  
didn't they say we would never make it  
caught me at the crux  
of my shadows when the light was fading  
 
I'm never enough  
but you bring back what the tide was taking  
I give you up  
just to be swallowed by an unconditional...  
 
(Promise me)  
promise me this is not a dream  
I'm beginning to believe  
in this chemical between  
you and me
 
(Is it love?)  
Is it love? I've been a deceiver  
blinded by a false reality  
I give you up, but you come back to me  
unconditionally  
 
I've been on a fast track  
see me out in the street  
blowing smoke can't match my speed  
you don't want to be like me  
 
I've been hitting it hard  
hiding permanent marks  
I might've left a couple scars  
on your heart and I'm sorry  
 
(promise me)  
promise me this is not a dream  
I'm beginning to believe  
in this chemical between
you and me
 
(Is it love?)  
Is it love? I've been a deceiver  
blinded by a false reality  
I give you up, but you come back to me  
unconditionally  
 
How far will you let me go?  
I don't want to take your soul  
spiral down this rabbit hole  
you don't want to be like me  
 
honestly, I'm begging you to run  
these are the gates of hell  
I've been choking on the gun  
but you can't tell, you call me angel  
 
but that's conditional
