Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love By Jack Horne and Beth Winchcombe 

 

We’ve been through this a thousand times!

What can I say to make you see?

The love I felt for you has died -

I’m sorry, you’re not right for me.

 

You made me laugh!

You made me cry!

Now it seems you’ve gone away!

I should hate you,

BUT,

Love and hate are much akin.

 

I know you want another chance,

But feel we’ve had that one last try!

I never meant to break your heart.

It tears me up to see you cry.

  

I’m missing you so much

Already,

You heartless swine!

Leaving me alone!

Why did you come into my life

If you didn’t mean to stay?

 

Unless I owned a crystal ball,

How could I know how it would end?

I love you still - but not enough!

I know your broken heart will mend.

 

What I felt for you

Is liken to a tap

I just can't turn it off.

You're nothing but a whimp,

A bastard,

A womaniser,

Someone I should hate!

Can't you see what you've done to me?

I wish now that we'd never met!

Sadly though I'd still forgive you.

 

I've got myself a dog, he won't let me down!

Unconditional love, that's what I need right now!
