You Owe Me Nothing in Return
I'll give you countless amounts
Of out right 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 shame filled 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 travel 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 wonderin' when
The next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wonderin' when
My conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you're wonderin' 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 truths
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, 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 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
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
