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
