[Verse 1]
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
Took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst
I gathered all the courage in the world[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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[Bridge]
I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 3]
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[Chorus 2]
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 whatThey love me no matter what
