Unconditional
Richard Walters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long ago we said something we regret
China thrown and words we can′t forget
And now I'm lost without my light
It takes us both backwards

This is it, this is the place
Where we mend
Or we break

I won′t stop loving you
I won't stop loving you
No matter what you do

Tangled up, the way that we both feel
Crueler words drive their way between
And when you speak without love for me
I do the same back

This is it, this is the place
Where we mend
Or we break

I won't stop loving you
I won′t stop loving you
I won′t stop loving you
No matter what you do
Where do wе go from here?
Wherе do we go from here?

This is it, this is the place
Where we mend
Or we break

I won't stop loving you
I won′t stop loving you
I won't stop loving you

No matter what you do
No matter what you do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Richard Walters's song Unconditional seem to speak to a relationship that has been marred by a past mistake. The first stanza seems to suggest that the relationship is struggling because of a past argument where cruel words were said and things were hurled. The singer is lost without their light and the negativity in the relationship is taking them both backward.

The chorus of the song suggests that this is the crossroads where they either mend the relationship or break it altogether. The singer expresses their unconditional love, despite the wrongs that may have been committed, and insists that they won't stop loving their partner, no matter what they do. The second verse continues with the theme of the relationship being tangled up, with cruel words driving a wedge between them.

The end of the song resolves in the same way it began, with the question: "Where do we go from here?" The singer is still at the crossroads and it's not clear whether the relationship will be mended or broken. However, the at least they know that their love won't waver.
