Unconditional

[Verse 1]

Mama's so strong, but her body's tired

But she jumps up to hug me when I come home

And Dad hates to smoke, but he chews tobacco

And he taught me to find God on my own

And Kendall is no stranger to trouble

But her boys are gonna love that crazy soul

Oh, and Britney's still scared from after Banner

But if Andrew was here, he'd be proud of her

[Chorus]

So, maybe love was always near

Maybe love needs the fear

Well, maybe love is a broken thing

Maybe love needs the pain

[Verse 2]

So I chainsmoke the pack in Salt Lake City

And your voice sounds the same when I'm alone

I was drunk at the wheel in Norfolk, Virginia

Oh, and I came to tears thinking of her

Oh, and darling, I know that I haven't told you

But you mean more to me than you must know

But my head's full of fear and my heart of sorrow

But when I'm patient enough, your voice echoes

[Chorus]

So, maybe love was always near

Maybe love needs the fear

Well, maybe love is a broken thing

Maybe love needs the pain

[Outro]

It's carrying you up, it's carrying you up

Don't let it grow lonesome, fly away

It's carrying you up, it's carrying you up

Don't let it grow lonesome, fly away
