NO MATTER WHAT
Written by Callum Scott and Toby Gad
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 out of 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
Now I look back 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
They love me no matter what"
