No Matter What

When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up I didn't understand it but I was terrified of love Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own It took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst I gathered all the courage in the world She said, "I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are" She wrapped her arms around me Said, "Don't try to be what you're not 'Cause I love you no matter what" She loves me no matter what I got a little older wishing all my time away Riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down I wish I never said a thing, 'cause to them I'm a stranger now When I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break She said, "I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are" She wrapped her arms around me Said, "Don't try to be what you're not 'Cause I love you no matter what" Yeah Now I'm a man and I'm so much wiser I walk the earth with my head held higher I got the love that I need But I was still missing one special piece My father looked at me He said, "I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are" He wrapped his arms around me Said, "Don't try to be what you're not 'Cause I love you no matter what" He loves me no matter what And they love me no matter what
