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
