Conditional - Laura Mvula

I’ve been doing the best I can, with all that I have

All I really needed was a little compassion

Another blow to the ego

A victim of conditional love

All up into my shadow

Oh, you make it look easy

When you took it all from me

Left me for empty

That familiar sorrow

Another blow to the ego

What kinda magic

Poof poof and then vanish

Drop me at the ground zero

Another blow to my ego

I don’t cry no tears for you

I needed love unconditional

Another blow to the ego

A victim of conditional love

Don’t live in the fiasco

Done giving in to a feeling

Taken up in a moonbeam

Woke up in a mid-dream

A provisional kindred soul

Anothr blow to the ego

A victim of conditional love

What kinda habit

Lave me here stranded

Think I need to fly solo

Break the chain to my ego

I don’t cry no tears for you

I needed love unconditional

I don’t cry no tears for you

I needed love unconditional

Unconditional

I don’t cry no tears for you

I needed love unconditional

I don’t cry no tears for you (I don’t cry for you)

I needed love unconditional
