"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 18

"Unconditionally"
by Katy Perry



Full Lyrics ▼

Oh no, did I get too close?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm I would
I do it all because I love you, I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart

Acceptance is the key to be
To be truly free
Will you do the same for me?

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
And there is no fear now
Let go and just be free
'Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh yeah)
I will love you (unconditionally)
I will love you
I will love you unconditionally

Bonus points for squeezing a six-syllable word into multiple places in a song and making it sound melodic.

I'm "hot n cold" on Katy Perry (bad pun intended). Sometimes she does songs that I think are pretty unoriginal and, while catchy, not particularly memorable... and at other times she does songs like this one that just somehow strike a chord with me and are something that I end up listening to for weeks and weeks and weeks. I found this song while listening to a playlist of similar songs and haven't been able to stop listening to it since. The music video is also gorgeously shot.
