Unconditional
Clay Davidson Lyrics

Daddy waited up, in the kitchen by himself
The singer's father was waiting alone in the kitchen when he stumbled in one night.

I came stumbling in that night
The singer arrived home in a drunken state.

With liquor on my breath
The singer had been drinking alcohol.

He said, 'Son I know you live here But this is still my home It's my way or the highway' So I said alright, 'I'm gone'
The artist's father reminded him that he still had authority in his own home, but the artist chose to leave rather than follow his father's rules.

And before I slammed that door I said, 'I hate you' But he just shook his head, and said ok
The artist expressed his anger towards his father before leaving, but his father didn't react and simply let him go.

But you can't stop my love for you It'll be here that's a given As long as I am living on this earth One thing is true You will turn away, forget me Curse my name but love won't let me let you go Son always know, my love is unconditional
The singer's father reassures him that no matter what he does, his father's love will always be present and unconditional, even if the singer turns away or forgets about him.

Life is like a circle Slowing turning on itself And girl it took losing you To finally know how daddy felt
The singer realizes how his father felt when he lost his love (the singer's mother), and it took the singer experiencing a similar loss (of his girlfriend) to fully understand.

But we stood in this bedroom A year ago today Hangin' on to pride and anger As we threw our love away
The artist and his girlfriend broke up due to their pride and anger towards each other, and it happened a year ago in that same bedroom.

And before you slammed that door You said, 'I hate you' But tonight if only you could hear me say
Before the girlfriend left, she expressed her anger towards the artist, but now the artist wishes she could hear him express his feelings.

That you can't stop my love for you It'll be here that's a given As long as I am living on this earth One thing is true You will turn away, forget me Curse my name but love won't let me let you go Girl always know My love is unconditional
The artist reassures his ex-girlfriend that his love for her is just as unconditional as his father's love for him, and no matter how she feels or what she does, his love will remain constant.

You will turn away, forget me Curse my name, but you can even let me go But you need to know My love is unconditional
The singer acknowledges that his ex-girlfriend may try to move on and forget about him, but he wants her to know that his love will always be present and unconditional.
