You owe me nothing in return

I'll give you countless amounts
Of outright acceptance if you want it
I'll give you encouragement to choose the path that you want, if you need it

You can speak of anger and doubts
Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called
Shamefilled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it

And there are no strings attached

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

You can ask for space for yourself
And only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well
Or time to revel and you'll have it

You can ask to live by yourself
Or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want
Anything at all and I'll understand it

And there are no strings attached

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

I bet you're wondering when
The next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when
My conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you're wondering how
Far you have now danced your way back into debt

This is the only kind of love
As I understand it that there really is

You can express your deepest of thruths
Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss
On the way to your bliss
And I'll empathize with

You can say that you'll have to skip town
To chase your passion and I'll hear it
You can even hit a rock bottom
Have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it

And there are no strings attached

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return
