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 wrapped her arms around me Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not 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 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" 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 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 And they love me no matter what And they love me no matter what He wrapped his arms around me Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not 'Cause I love you no matter what" She wrapped her 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 And they love me no matter what And they love me no matter what yeah
