Love Conditioned

[Intro]
Silent shadows, whispers in the dark
Love like a puzzle, falling apart

[Verse 1]
He says he loves me when I smile bright
When my calmness shines through the night
In moments I hide my tears and fears
His love's a mirror that disappears

[Pre-Chorus]
But when my world's breaking down
He turns away, no words, just frowns
Expecting strength, hiding my pain
Underneath the surface, I strain

[Chorus]
Love conditioned, a fragile line
Only there when I toe the line
Hold me when I lose my grace
But turn away when I show my face
If I’m not easy, silent, strong
His love's a shadow, all wrong
"If you don't stay right," he claims
Love's a game beyond my pains

[Verse 2]
Smiles for him, I wear them thin
Pretending I'm okay within
Barely holding on, fading light
Seeking reassurance in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
He blames my hurt, my silent cry
Ignoring how I feel inside
Love's a condition, not a gift
A narrow door, a drifting shift

[Chorus]
Love conditioned, a fragile line
Only there when I toe the line
Hold me when I lose my grace
But turn away when I show my face
If I’m not easy, silent, strong
His love's a shadow, all wrong
"If you don't stay right," he claims
Love's a game beyond my pains

[Bridge]
I crave a love that holds through cracks
Not just the light, but all the backs
A love that sees beyond my mask
Accepts the storm, embraces the flash

[Outro]
Maybe someday, love will see
The strength in all that’s broken in me
Until then, I’ll search within
For love that’s honest, kind, and thin
